According to Gerashchenko, those drones with which the Russian Federation is now bombing Ukraine were intended for Israel.

In the future, we see only an increase in support. Each case of a strike on our cities leads to the fact that the peoples of Western countries demand more support for Ukraine. Except Israel .

This was stated by the adviser to the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Anton Gerashchenko in an interview with UNIAN .

“I want to say frankly: I categorically do not support, do not share the position of the Israeli government. They do not help us at all. They have not imposed any sanctions against the Russian Federation. , which in turn suffered from the genocide of the Jewish people, is now just watching the genocide of the Ukrainian people. This is the Holocaust of the Ukrainian people. They do not help in any way. I think that this will not go unnoticed,” Gerashchenko said.

According to him, those drones with which the Russian Federation is now bombing Ukraine were intended for Israel. Iran has never hidden that Israel is an enemy.

“The flight range of these drones is 1,500 kilometers, they were developed for attacks on Israeli cities. And even despite this, the Israeli government pretends that it has not noticed the ongoing destruction of the Ukrainian people for the eighth month now. I don’t I know. They may have different histories, they are now allies, these are terrorist states. It is bad that a state like Israel does not support us,” Gerashchenko said.
