Zelensky said that when Russia invaded in 2022, he “asked Israel’s leaders to help us and support, but they have been afraid of [Russian President Vladimir] Putin.”
“I think that Israel made a mistake” on a political level, the Ukrainian leader told Fox News, noting that Ukraine’s connection with Israeli society had always been strong.
Every country on the planet that holds back support for Ukraine is making a mistake.
Crazy how an invaded country president is an ally with a colonizer
They’re not afraid of Putin…
They’re trying to form a genocidal alliance of Bibi, trump, putin, and and Kim.
Not the countries mind you, half are already dictators for life and that’s what the other half wants.
Which is why they’re going to throw their country’s traditional alliances out the window because their personal alliances bring more personal power.
I swear I feel like Cassandra some days…
Israel is not entirely afraid of Putin. They want to appeal to him. Israel has always tried to play both sides for the US and Russia. Israel has sold American intel to Russia multiple times in the past.
For how much Israel is praised as an “ironclad” ally, they will certainly backstab the US in a heartbeat if Russia or China ever become the global superpower. And act as their proxy base in the region instead of America’s.
If Israel would have supplied weapons to Ukraine there is a large chance Putin would have indulged in even stronger relations with Iran and Syria. Potentially directly supplying them with offensive weapons against Israel.
It is ironic. All of Israel’s praise is for their weapons. Battle tested in the concentration camp in their back yard. But when those weapons are needed they are nowhere to be found.
“I think that Israel made a mistake” on a political level, the Ukrainian leader told Fox News
Definitely not a mistake. Israel PM just does not give a shit and only cares about himself.
noting that Ukraine’s connection with Israeli society had always been strong.
I understand why (cause he needs help) but, I find it ironic and sad that he “has a strong connection” with Israel while they’re doing the same thing as Russia and worse. Invading land, murdering, massacres etc.
Israeli society has negative attitudes toward Ukraine… They are strongly favor Russia due to their historic connection. Most Jews who left USSR even if they were from Ukraine always associated with Russian identity, never Ukrainian, since they were educated within Russian systems. They view Ukrainians similar how Russians do.
So he is talking out of his ass and he is Jewish. He must know this history himself.
I don’t think he should want support from such crap as israel.
Ukraine made a mistake by attempting to side with a regime that’s committing the same genocidal crimes as the russian state but worse.
It wouldnt even have been about weapons, but rather Israel to also sanction Russia, not to have sold them military equipment used against Ukraine like drones they sold in 2015-2018.
But Zelensky sucking up to Israel will always be a bad stain in his record. While Israel supported the Russian invader after his annexatiom of Crimea, Zelensky chose zionism to be more important than protecting his people.
