Ukraine envoy: Kiev could recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital soon
Newsrael News Desk 17.12.2021
The Times of Israel reports that at an event in Jerusalem marking 30 years of Israel-Ukraine ties, Ukraine’s Ambassador to Israel Yehven Korniychuk says his country could recognize the city as Israel’s “one and only capital” in the next year, and open a branch of its embassy during a visit by President Volodymyr Zelensky.
Korniychuk tells The Times of Israel that he believes recognition is a matter of months, not years, but that Zelensky has certain preconditions in the security and defense relationship between the countries before that happens.
“As soon as I get permission, I will do it immediately,” says Korniychuk.
