"Due to deficiency of air defense": Ukraine can suspend a visa waiver with Israel - Ambassador
According to him, the full break of the intergovernmental agreement is not discussed. That is, if visa waiver is stopped, then for a while. "Nowadays, on the eve of Rosh Ha-Shan, the question of the expediency of distracting a huge number of civil servants during hostilities to guarantee the security of pilgrims was again. It is not about cancellation. The issue of suspension was considered. That is, no one was going to cancel the intergovernmental agreement," Ukraine in Israel.
At least 30,000 pilgrims from Israel plans to come to the grave of Tzadik Nakhman in Uman, where traditionally the celebration of Rosh Ha-Shan is celebrated every year. But for the last year and a half in Ukraine, a full -scale war is ongoing and the country cannot ensure their safe stay here due to Russian attacks. Ukraine is very much in need of modern air defense systems that help protect peaceful cities. "The embassy insists that if you (Israel - ed.
) For some reason, you do not want to allocate air defense means, sell them to protect civilian Ukrainian citizens, you may want to protect your own. It's logical," the message reads . Particular attention was paid to the statements of the Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyhah. The day before, he noted that Western weapons could easily be in the hands of Russian invaders, and then be transferred to other countries.
Yevgeny Korniychuk replied that the air defense systems do not stand on the front, respectively, they could not get into the enemy's hands. It is a protection of a deep rear that has no access to the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. We will remind, on June 30 it was reported that Netanyhahi responded to the accusation of the Ambassador of Ukraine in the "pro -Russian position" of Israel.
