January 30, 2015
Israel is prepared to act a mediator between Russia and Ukraine, Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman said on Monday in an interview with the Russian news agency RIA Novosti. “Israel’s neutrality in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict is the most reasonable position but neutrality does not mean inaction” Lieberman said ahead of a meeting with Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov in Moscow. “We have good relations with both countries. Moscow and Kiev trust us. This is a good basis for mediation efforts. We have repeatedly said that we were ready to deploy and these are not only statements” he added.
