The Foreign Ministry defends Israel’s decision not to grant military assistance to Ukraine following Russia’s invasion of the country.
“Israel wants to maintain open channels with all the sides that are involved in the conflict,” spokesman Lior Haiat tells Army Radio. “We’ll focus on humanitarian aid, which is needed by the people in Ukraine.”
Noting the large number of refugees fleeing to Ukraine’s neighbors, he says, “without a doubt such assistance is necessary.”
