Israeli Foreign Minister Eli Cohen said his country would provide financial aid to Ukraine. Cohen is the first senior Israeli official to visit Ukraine since the war with Russia began.
on Thursday made the first public visit to Ukraine by a senior Israeli official since Russia’s invasion last year, pledging financial aid to the war-battered country but giving no indication that Israel is ready to provide weapons to Ukraine.
"Israel, as stated in the past, stands firmly in solidarity with the people of Ukraine and remains committed to the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine," Cohen said. Cohen met with Ukraine’s foreign minister, Dmytro Kuleba, who said on Twitter afterwards that he was"thankful for all of the support that Israel and Israelis have provided over the past year."
Yevgen Korniychuk, Ukraine’s ambassador to Israel, said that Israel"again assured us that they will bring the early warning system, but they didn’t say when." Israel maintains good working relations with both warring countries, and has large populations of Russian and Ukrainian immigrants. Israel also relies on security coordination with Russia over neighboring Syria, where Israel has carried out hundreds of airstrikes against Iranian military positions in the past decade. Russian warplanes also operate in support of Syrian President Bashar Assad, and Russia and Israel maintain communication to avoid conflict.
