The Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelesnkyafter an interview with the Israeli premier Naftali Bennettsaid he talks at a high level – that is, directly with the Russian president Vladimir Putin – to put an end to the conflict they could hold on to Jerusalem. The Ukrainian president’s statements came after an anonymous source from the Kiev government, according to Jerusalem Post and the US site Axiosreported that the Israeli prime minister had urged Zelensky himself to surrender to Moscow’s requests, receiving a sharp refusal as a response. The news was later denied as “absolutely fake”By Zelensky’s adviser Mikhail Podolyak (“It is impossible for military and political reasons”), while Israel did not comment.
“Bennett told us to give up. And we have no intention of doing that. We know Putin’s offer is just the beginning, ”the source told al Jerusalem Post. Since Bennett visited Moscow, the daily recalls, “the prime minister’s office and the foreign ministry have claimed that Israel’s mediation efforts force a more cautious and balanced approach.” The official also said that Israel is asking Ukraine to do not ask for any other military material and defense because this can damage the attempt to mediate.
It is no coincidence that on Friday, in a meeting in Tel Aviv with journalists, the ambassador of Kiev to Israel Yevgen Korniychuk he said Zelensky “doesn’t understand” Israel’s resistance to supplying Ukraine defensive equipment such as helmets and bulletproof vests. “You have some airplanes and anti-missile systems in Syria that belong to the Russians and you are afraid,” added the ambassador. “At the same time, allow me to point out the Baltic states which have a joint border with the Russian Federation. And they are not afraid. They bring everything they can to Ukraine and they are not afraid ”.
