Unprecedented diplomatic attack:
A senior Ukrainian official in a conversation with "Israel Today" accused ministers in the Israeli government of personal corruption, which allegedly affects Jerusalem's policy regarding the war with Russia.

"Western governments, unlike the Israeli government, have realized that they must support Ukraine," the senior official said.
"We were badly surprised by the Israeli government - some of the ministers in it are doing business with Russia and we understood that this is a corrupt government, as there were some Eastern European governments in the past."

The senior official added that he feared a scenario that would provide the Russians with an excuse to use nuclear weapons: "According to the Russian constitution, an attack on Russian territory justifies the use of nuclear weapons. Russia annexed Crimea and therefore a Ukrainian attack there could lead to this. "Make sure that not a word about it appears in their media."

Regarding the development of combat on the ground, the senior said that "at the beginning of the war we did not lose many soldiers thanks to the wise tactics of our army commanders. Now the fighting has changed, partly due to the increased use of artillery by the Russians." In contrast to Crimea, Luhansk and Donetsk have not been officially annexed to Russia, so Moscow's use of nuclear weapons is less dangerous for these regions.
"The big mistake of the Russians was that they assumed there would be no significant opposition from the Ukrainians. Another mistake was sticking to the assumption that the command at headquarters knows how to make better decisions than the command on the ground. "Even in eastern Ukraine, this concept has not proven itself. This is the moment when we are re-creating the nation and the Ukrainian state," he concluded.
The Foreign Ministry responded: "We do not respond to anonymous allegations"
Were we wrong?
