Ukraine accused Israel of collaborating with Russia and abetting its propaganda efforts by signing a film agreement with Moscow while the Russian army was attacking and killing its citizens.
“Israel is collaborating with this ruthless country, well known for its cinematic endeavors aimed at spreading war propaganda,” the Ukrainian Embassy in Tel Aviv stated
“On the very same day when a Russian rocket struck a crowded market in Donbas aria of Ukraine, once again killing and injuring dozens of innocent civilians, the Israeli Government signed a cooperation agreement in the field of cinema with the Russian propaganda perpetrators,” it emphasized.
"We call on the Israeli government to finally understand that focusing on the injustice done by the Russian leadership is the right course of action, instead of signing dubious agreements with them"

Such steps run counter to international norms with regard to Russia’s war against Ukraine, which is now in its second year, the embassy said.
“While the international community isolates Russia to demonstrate that its actions are unacceptable to civilized society, it looks like Israel is offering additional platforms to the aggressive federation for the dissemination of their toxic ideas.
“Therefore, we call on the Government of Israel to finally realize that focusing on the injustice committed by the Russian leadership, rather than signing doubtful agreements with them, is the right course of action,” it said.
