Israel sells Germany and Morocco. Why refuses Ukraine - even in defense of air defense

Ukraine never waited for the Israeli air defense. Instead, I received 10% of deportations of its citizens from Israel airports, I was convinced that Israel would change its position on the war in Ukraine - after Russia became more active about Russia's more active cooperation with Iran. Prime Minister also promised to revise his policy on weapons selling. But this does not happen.

Neither I nor the leadership of our country is known about any supply of Israel's weapons or ammunition for the needs of the Ukrainian army. At the same time, Israel sells Germany, Morocco, and other countries. Demand for Israeli products during the war has only increased. The only legitimate argument why they are afraid to sell our weapons - the Israelis are very painful about their own safety, and in the borders "Russia sits on the borders. Sometimes they say: we are not enough.

We explain: listen, we have no danger for one month. We will need to strengthen the air defense in a year, two and five. Let's sign contracts and we are ready to wait. But Israel has repeatedly denied air defense to protect Ukrainian civilians. We hoped that Israel may have wanted to protect their pilgrims in Uman, their citizens who planned a mass trip to Ukraine. Last year, despite all our reservations, about 23,000 pilgrims came to Uman. Two thirds of them are from Israel.

Even more is planned this year. There were already provocations. Uman was fired several times. There is an airport. I do not rule out that the Russians will launch rockets in the cluster of pilgrims this year, and then tell that the Ukrainians did. But we have not received any answer to the reinforcement of air defense. We try to achieve reciprocity with Israel. Instead, the deportation of Ukrainians increased many times over. And it is humiliating.

More than 10% of our citizens are now deported at airports. The order by which our citizens pass across the border are humiliating. They take passports, they are forced to wait more than 10 hours. Our people sleep on the floor, women and children, at airports. I can't stop it. Instead, they ask for "green corridors" for their citizens. All these are very sensitive issues. President Zelensky was asked after the NATO summit whether he was satisfied with the help of Iraeli.
