A telephone conversation between the recently appointed Minister of Foreign Affairs of Israel Eli Cohen and his Ukrainian colleague Dmitry Kuleboy was postponed, Israeli media reported.
according to available information, this happened on the initiative of Kyiv.
The reason for this decision is not completely clear. The Cohen office claims that the conversation is postponed “due to the intense schedule of Vladimir Zelensky.” However, the source of the Vainet publication believes that Kuleba is evading a conversation with the head of the Israeli diplomatic union due to the conversation of the latter with the Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, held on January 3.
Then Cohen assured the Moscow colleague that there are no changes in Israel’s policy.
The day before the conversation with Lavrov, Cohen said that Jerusalem would make less public statements on the topic of Ukraine.
