Israel to become more pro-Ukrainian due to Hamas attack and Russia's position – Ukraine's ambassador
Yevhen Korniichuk, Ukraine's Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to Israel, is confident that not only the people of Israel but also the country's government will become more pro-Ukrainian because of the Hamas attack and the Kremlin's support for it. Source: Interfax-Ukraine news agency Quote: "I think the government's position has changed because of the recent events.
I am sure that Israel will be more pro-Ukrainian - not only its citizens and society, but also the Israeli government.
Because the position of the Russian Federation, which has repeatedly expressed its support for Hamas, and [actions of] all the Iranian proxies that emerged in this large-scale terrorist attack against the State of Israel, are absolutely clear."
