Ukraine wants Israel’s Iron Dome defense system

Ukraine wants to purchase Israel’s Iron Dome defense system to use against Russia and has accused the Israeli government of not providing enough military or medical assistance.

The Ukrainian ambassador to Israel, Yevgen Korniychuk, said the Israeli media and government had forgotten about the war, and he stepped up calls for the country to allow the transfer of a much needed anti-tank guided missile system.

While grateful for its humanitarian assistance, Korniychuk said “we have had zero military-technical cooperation with Israel since the war started.”

“Ukraine has been removed from the Israeli press almost completely,” he told reporters on Tuesday, The Jerusalem Post reported, “so there is no war anymore.”
