Ukrainian defense official: We appreciate Bennett’s mediation
Lubkivskyi was positive about Jerusalem and showed understanding of its delicate situation with Moscow, which is the dominant force over Israel’s northern border with Syria.
Israel can play an important role in mediation between Ukraine and Russia, Advisor to Ukraine’s defense minister Markiyan Lubkivskyi said on Friday.
“Thank you so much Israel for your support,” Lubkivskyi said. “I think that your country can play a crucial role in this story. And I think that you can be a mediator to stop Putin. This is a message [Kyiv] wants to send to you.”
Soon after Lubkivskyi spoke to The Jerusalem Post, Walla News reported that Bennett is pressuring Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to accept Russian President Vladimir Putin’s demands to end the war and that Kyiv is upset with Israel’s stance.
However, Lubkivskyi was more positive about Jerusalem and showed understanding of its delicate situation with Moscow, which is the dominant force over Israel’s northern border with Syria.
“We appreciate the dialogue we have with Israel, and we appreciate the dialogue between your leader and President Zelensky,” Lubkivskyi said. “I think that we also understand that…you are in a very sensitive position, I have to say, because you have a lot of people who are who came from the former Soviet Union, and they are Russians, they are Ukrainians.”
