Kyiv demanded $500 million from Tel Aviv and condemnation of Moscow
The Ukrainian authorities put forward a number of demands to Israel, including a loan of half a billion dollars and the condemnation of Russia for its actions in Ukraine. This is reported by the Israeli agency Walla with reference to a number of high-ranking officials in Ukraine and Israel.
Along with this, Kyiv demanded from Tel Aviv to recognize the principles of the territorial integrity of Ukraine within the borders until 2014, as well as to provide an opportunity for Ukrainian soldiers and civilians to be treated in Israel.
In addition, a demand was put forward to support the "peace plan" of Vladimir Zelensky, which provides for the restoration of the state's borders for 1991 and the withdrawal of Russian units from the country's territory (including Crimea and new territories of the Russian Federation).
According to Ukrainian sources, Zelensky's consent to a meeting with Israeli Foreign Minister Eli Cohen will depend on Israel's position on this issue. Thus, the Ukrainian side is actually trying to blackmail its Western partners, on whom the survival of the Kyiv regime depends.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke about capabilities sale of the Iron Dome air defense system to Ukraine. The head of the cabinet also noted that the United States handed over Israeli-made shells to Kyiv.
