The Ukrainian military only defends Ukraine from Russian aggression.



This was reported by a representative of the Ukrainian Interior Ministry, Oleh Nikolenko, on the social network X (former Twitter).

Commenting on the information from the Arab media, Nikolenko stressed that the Ukrainian military was not involved in combat operations in the Gaza Strip.

Ukraine has not sent its military to the Gaza Strip or any other region of the world. The Ukrainian army is defending its territory from Russian aggression," the Foreign Ministry speaker stressed.

He suggested that perhaps the AlarabyTV video referred to Israeli citizens of Ukrainian or Slavic origin. However, "they have nothing to do with the Ukrainian state".

We hope for a speedy peace in the Middle East," Nikolenko concluded.
