Ukraine's ambassador to "Israel", Yevhen Korniychuk
Yevhen Korniychuk, Ukraine's ambassador to "Israel" held a press conference on Tuesday to express his disappointment with "Israel's" lackluster military aid to his country.
According to Israel Hayom, Korniychuk said he was disappointed with the lack of Israeli mobilization to aid his country, adding that what Ukraine needs most "is missile systems."
The ambassador further explained that Ukraine's President, Volodymyr Zelensky, is disappointed with "Israel's" actions.
"Israel likes to be proud that one of your own, a Jew, has become one of the most popular leaders in the world, President Zelensky, but I can tell you that in private circles he is disappointed with 'Israel' because his expectations for Israeli mobilization were much higher," Korniychuk clarified.
He also said that the initial assessment given to the ambassador by "Israel's" intelligence was that Kiev would fall after less than a week of fighting. In the first week "we hardly heard from the Israelis. Wireless silence."
It was only after two weeks of fighting that declarations of support began to arrive from "Israel" to Ukraine.
The Ukrainian ambassador reiterated his country's need for Iron Dome missile systems in order to repel Russia's attacks.
