Ukrainian Ambassador to Israel Yevgen Kornichuk on Wednesday confirmed the report that Russian forces launched over ten Iranian attack drones at Uman over Rosh Hashanah in order to harm Israelis.
In an interview with Reshet Bet, he said: “Ukrainian security forces were organized and worked well. There’s no reason for Israelis to leave Uman for security reasons.”
Kornichuk also added that Ukraine has submitted a request for military assistance from Israel. “We’re asking for more help from Israel, with an emphasis on military aid. There are requests on Defense Minister Gantz’s desk but we haven’t received a response.”
“Israel needs to equip us with anti-aircraft weapons. This is the time. So far Israel hasn’t done enough. Israel is good at humanitarian aid but we won’t win with bandages,” the ambassador asserted.
According to Ukrainian reports, the Russians are increasing their use of Iranian drones, launching them eight times at the beginning of the week alone.
A news report on Tuesday said that a senior Ukrainian official said recently that his country requested intelligence information from Israel about Iranian support for the Russian army. “They transferred a small amount of intelligence but we need a lot more than that,” he said.
In the meantime, due to Israeli intelligence, Ukraine is reducing its diplomatic ties with Iran.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Kyiv announced over the weekend the cancellation of the Iranian ambassador’s term and a significant reduction of the diplomatic staff in the Iranian embassy.

Ukrainians might be lying. They want Israeli military assistance and perhaps they made up this story to help get that aid.
Story sounds fishy.
And we’re supposed to believe this?!
Propaganda.
I heard that it was actually a Russian fire-breathing dragon that Ukraine slayed, saving the Jews in Ukraine.
Would those of you doubting the story have needed one of the drones to succeed in it’s mission to believe the Ukrainians?
I’m not buying this story.
Not plausible
Why would they lie?
America has satellites all over. You can not fool America. I am sure the USA is able to see every missile and rocket. We are living in 2022. The intelligence of USA is all over.
If Ukraine is caught lying, it will backfire.
Pure propaganda
ukrainians are some of the most anti Semitic people wouldnt it work for them to have not only foreign Jews killed but also to blame Putin for it.
@Avraham US has every incentive to be in on the propaganda together with Ukraine. What exactly is the deterrent to lying?
How do they take photos and operate hatzalah vehicles on RH?
avraham: You can not fool America.
Would you be interested in a bridge in Brooklyn?
We see the Melania hotel in the background in this photo. You think Russia would attack a Trump hotel??
Wake up Yidden!
This is probably propaganda, but the US isn’t going to rush to defend Russia by debunking it.
Why aren’t they supplying the footage to prove their claim? Could it be that there isn’t? Besides, if the story was true, certainly America and/or Israel would produce the satelite footage. The story just doesn’t ring true!
I also sent a drone from brooklyn, i cam confirm
Hashem rules. Ukraine did nothing. Actually they do evil
I call BS!
