The Israeli Foreign Ministry said on June 27 it was summoning the Ukrainian ambassador for a "clarification," after the Ukrainian Embassy accused "the current Israeli government" of "a clear pro-Russian position." "In light of his repeated remarks against Israel's policy, Ukrainian Ambassador Yevhen Korniychuk has been summoned for a clarification that will take place at the Foreign Ministry on July 3," a ministry statement said. Israel has adopted a cautious approach since Russian forces invaded Ukraine in February last year, seeking to maintain neutrality between the warring sides. (AFP)
