Ukraine, Israel ‘fighting against same axis of evil,’ Ukrainian ambassador tells ‘Post’ - interview
Yevgen Korniychuk thanked Israel for its support for Ukraine in its struggle for “independence and peace and prosperity,” citing polls showing that over 85% of Israelis support Ukraine in its war.
Ukrainian Ambassador to Israel, Yevgen Korniychuk, recently spoke to The Jerusalem Post about Ukraine's struggle against Russia and the shared enemy they face with Israel. Korniychuk highlighted that Ukraine has endured over four years of war, with a million soldiers and law enforcement personnel willing to sacrifice their lives for their country's independence.
He compared Ukraine's fight to Israel's, stating that both nations are engaged in an existential struggle against a greater power. The ambassador noted that both Ukraine and Israel have been targeted by Iranian-built drones, and they have been retaliating by striking Russian territory. Ukraine recently made significant progress by demolishing about 40% of Russian refineries, causing a fuel shortage in Russia.
Despite facing challenges, Korniychuk expressed confidence in Ukraine's ability to win the war and achieve a stable ceasefire. The ambassador also discussed the strong bond between Ukraine and Israel, spanning technology, defense, trade, and economic relations. Korniychuk expressed gratitude for Israel's support and pledged to hold a strategic dialogue session in Kyiv to discuss common threats for both nations' future.
