Israel knows missiles, should fight alongside us, ex-Ukraine president says

Former Ukrainian president Petro Poroshenko tells an Israeli TV channel that the Jewish state knows what Ukraine is going through and should be fighting alongside his people against Russia’s invasion.

“Russia is a criminal regime terrorist country who attack Ukraine, innocent Ukraine,” he tells Channel 12 in English, speaking from a makeshift army post in Kyiv. “What is a terrorist country, Israel knows very well. What does it mean when peaceful Israeli towns and houses, we have missiles here too. Israel knows exactly what it means.”

Asked how Israel should react, Poroshenko says “very simple, fight shoulder to shoulder with us [against] world terrorism.”
