While Israel supports Ukraine “in 90% of cases” at the United Nations and other international fora, Ukraine’s voting pattern is “diametrically opposite,” Israel’s Ambassador to Ukraine Michael Brodsky told Ukrainian news outlet ZN.UA on July 8.
“This is an abnormal situation, especially in light of the fact that Ukraine quite often turns to Israel with various requests,” said Brodsky.
Brodsky defended Israel during much of the interview, in which virtually all the questions centered around the idea that Israel wasn’t doing enough for Ukraine.
The first question suggested that Israel should help Ukraine because Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was Jewish: “Mr. Ambassador, Israel is a small country, but it cares about its fellow tribesmen around the globe and is extremely proud of them. Do you have a list of how many Jewish heads of state there are in the world?”
When asked why Israel hasn’t yet provided Ukraine with military assistance or a “single weapon” since the start of the war 16 months ago, Brodsky said that Israel was planning to transfer an early missile warning system to Ukraine, but that it first needed to be adapted to the country.
The system is new, based on the size of Ukraine and the type of threats it faces. “Israel is primarily dealing with short-range missiles, which are quite primitive. They are fired at us mainly from the Gaza Strip,” he noted.
When asked why Israel summoned Ukrainian Ambassador to Israel Yevgen Korniychuki to the Foreign Ministry last week, Brodsky explained: “The latest statement by the Ukrainian ambassador that Israel does not help Ukraine in any way and is in solidarity with Russia caused indignation in the Israeli Foreign Ministry.
“Therefore, the ambassador was summoned for a very serious conversation. The ambassador’s allegations are completely baseless and particularly offensive in light of the tremendous assistance that Israel has provided and continues to provide,” he said. JNS
The government of Israel are fools for supporting Ukraine. All they are implying is that these UN resolution against Israel have merit.
To the contrary Israel has clearly tilted towards Russia. It similarly tilted towards the Apartheid regime in South Africa a generation ago. This was in opposition to the Jews of both countries. Sadly, Ukraine owes Israel nothing. Fortunately President Biden has united the rest of the free world to the right side in this conflict.
USA out of Ukraine. Now!
Why the need of the fake Bibi photo? Why the need of a suit for that Ukrainian? Whose did he steal?
Don’t support ukrainian Jew haters!!!!!
Zelensky seems to be whining about anyone who doesn’t help him enough, according to what he decides they should. Okay, you gotta feel bad for the guy, a 500 day war is not what he planned when he decided to run for office, no way. Objectively, he deserves help, but demanding it isn’t pretty.
Despite this fake news report, we must continue to send Zelenskyy and his Ukrainian cronies an additional $80 billion dollars of US taxpayers money!!! The Intermarried mishumad shaigitz dog deserves it. The more they hate us, the more we must give. Remember, the dog is not Frum “yet”.
