Ukraine, Israel ‘fighting against same axis of evil,’ Ukrainian ambassador tells ‘Post’ – interview

Ukrainian Ambassador to Israel, Yevgen Korniychuk, told The Jerusalem Post that Ukraine and Israel are "fighting against the same axis of evil," comparing Ukraine's struggle against Russia to Israel's fight against its enemies. He noted that both countries have been targeted by Iranian-made drones, stating, "If we stop resisting the Russian forces, there's going to be no country." Korniychuk highlighted Ukraine's progress in developing its own missiles and drones, which are now striking Russian territory, and expressed confidence in Ukraine's eventual victory. He also discussed the strong alliance between Ukraine and Israel, including growing economic ties and defense cooperation. The ambassador mentioned the upcoming 35th Ukrainian Independence Day, the expected influx of 40,000 Jewish pilgrims to Uman for Rosh Hashanah, and the 85th anniversary commemoration of the Babi Yar massacre, hoping for a high-level Israeli delegation to attend.
