Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that Israel 'has been afraid of Putin' and made a mistake on a political level after asking for help and support amid the Russian invasion. Zelensky spoke with European and US officials to seek Israel's support, particularly with air defenses. He clarified that it was a political mistake and not a reflection of the people, as Ukraine has always had good connections with Israeli society. This is not the first time Zelensky has expressed disappointment in Israel's lack of support during the conflict with Russia.
