Ukraine sees allies protect Israel from Iran attack and asks: What about us?
Ukraine sees a double standard in U.S. and allies helping Israel shoot down the Iran attack while it waits for new support against Russian attacks.
KYIV, Ukraine — In the wave of Iranian drones and missiles that were shot down before they reached their targets over the weekend, another ally sees the possibilities, and limits, of Western support.
The U.S. and its partners helped Israel, so why, Ukraine is asking, won’t they help protect us from Russian attacks?
It "looks extremely strange," Ukrainian presidential adviser Mykhailo Podolyak said in an interview Tuesday.
"How does the civilian population of Ukraine or the civilian infrastructure of Ukraine differ from the civilian population of Israel from a humanistic point of view?" he asked bluntly.
Most galling, perhaps, is that the Kremlin has been deploying the same drones as Tehran in its assault on Ukrainian cities.
