Reuters said that at a press conference on the same day, Kornichuk said that Ukraine has a request for Israel to provide protective vests and helmets to Ukraine that has not yet been met.
"We had lengthy discussions with the Israeli government on the issue of ammunition, equipment and self-defence, including (providing) helmets and safety vests, but we did not reach an agreement." The Times of Israel quoted Kornichuk as saying.
Speaking of the subject, Reuters said he also stood up and put a helmet on his head... ↓
"Tell me, how do you kill people with this stuff?" This is not possible. So I don't know what these people are afraid of. Personal security for Ukrainians ... It's the easiest thing they can do. Kornichuk said.
After introducing the Ukrainian ambassador's move, Reuters explained that the Russian side had said that anyone who provided Ukraine with lethal weapons for combatants would "bear responsibility."
The report mentioned that in the process of Russia's military operations against Ukraine, while condemning Russia's "invasion" of Ukraine, Israel "limited" its role in providing humanitarian assistance and maintaining communication channels with Russia.
The Ukrainian side is also very clear about this. But Kornichuk said Israeli Prime Minister Bennett had promised to work to make peace "even if there is only a one percent chance of success."
To that end, Kornichuk also expressed gratitude for Israel's efforts to mediate between Russia and Ukraine, which he said was more important than any military assistance Israel might provide.
"This is much more important than issues like arms or arms sales that we are still seeking from the Israeli government." Kornichuk added that Kiev understands the limitations of the Israeli side on the issue of aid.
Russia announced on February 24 to launch military operations in the Donbass region, the Russian Satellite News Agency said on the 27th that Israeli Prime Minister Bennett called Russian President Putin and suggested that Israel act as a "mediator" for Russia's military operations in Ukraine. On March 5, Israeli Prime Minister Bennett visited the Russian capital, Moscow, for talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin. On the evening of the 6th local time, the Kremlin website released a message saying that Putin and Bennett had a phone call. The two sides continued to exchange views on Russia's special military operations and Bennett's contacts with other leaders on ukraine.
