"Avigdor Lieberman is acting as Putin's agent within the Israeli government," a source in Ukraine told Israel Today.
The source does not currently hold an official position in the administration, but is considered the most linked to the top echelons of government in Kiev.
His remarks are linked to the accusation made yesterday by a senior government official in a conversation with Israel Today, claiming that "the Israeli government is corrupt, some of the ministers are doing business with Russia," and the criticism made a few hours later by Ukrainian President Zalansky in a speech to the Hebrew University The help we want from Israel. "

According to the source, the finance minister is sabotaging contacts for the supply of Israeli military equipment to Ukraine: "Lieberman is acting as Putin's agent within the Israeli government. He has foreign interests that influence government policy," he accused.
"In at least one case, they approached me from the Ukrainian army after there had been progress in contacts for the supply of military equipment, and asked me to try to intervene because they claimed Lieberman was thwarting the deal."
As far as is known, the deal did not materialize.
Israel has consistently refrained from supplying weapons to Ukraine because of fears of a possible Russian response restricting the IDF's freedom of action in Syria.
Finance Minister Lieberman's office responded: "We recommend that the same 'factor' be examined by a doctor urgently."
Were we wrong?
