Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says he sees a “positive trend” in Kyiv’s relations with Israel after the two countries shared intelligence on about 400 Iranian drones that Russia has used in its invasion.
“So we are at the beginning of cooperation, this is a positive trend in relations with Israel,” Zelensky said during a press conference in Kyiv, adding that “after a long pause, I see us moving forward.”
Ukraine has been frustrated with Israel’s refusal to supply it with weapons, with Israel apprehensive about harming ties with Russia which has a large military presence in Syria.
