The President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky spoke out yesterday (Friday) strongly against Israel's lack of willingness to help his country in the war with Russia.
In an interview with the television channel TV5, Zelensky said: "I'm shocked. I didn't understand what happened to Israel," and added: "Israel has provided us with nothing. Nothing. Zero."
According to him, he understands that the situation is complicated because of Russia and Syria.

"You know that in Ukraine there are many people of Jewish origin"
Zelensky said that he had spoken with the two Israeli prime ministers, and that public opinion in Israel is leaning in favor of Ukraine, but nevertheless, according to him, "the influence that Russia has on Israel can be noticed."
He noted that Ukraine asked Israel to provide it with anti-aircraft defenses.
"I understand Israel's need to defend its territory," said Zelensky, "but it sold such means to other countries, and it can export them. That's why I'm shocked. You know that there is a war in Ukraine, and you know that there are many people of Jewish origin in Ukraine, and also There are many Ukrainians in Israel."
In the past, Zelensky mentioned the Iron Dome system as a means that could have helped Ukraine protect its citizens, in a videotaped speech he gave to the Knesset in March.
In the same speech, he asked Israel to put pressure on Russia, and to send weapons to Ukraine.
Israel sent a lot of humanitarian aid to Ukraine in the form of food and medical equipment, and established a field hospital to treat Ukrainian wounded.
