Kuleba said there was "very deep cooperation" between the two countries during a press conference. "We are also interested in deepened defense cooperation … in particular related to air defense," he told reporters.

"We would welcome the effort of Israel to play a diplomatic role between Ukraine and Russia," he added.

Meanwhile, Israel's Foreign Minister Yair Lapid told Axios on Wednesday he doesn't believe there will be a violent confrontation between Russia and Ukraine.

"At the moment, the (Israeli) assessment is that we don't see a violent confrontation soon. I also don't think a world war is about to start there," Lapid told Axios.

He stressed that Israel faces a complicated situation due to the large Jewish communities in both Russia and Ukraine.

"We have a duty to act with caution about the Russia-Ukraine crisis that no other country has," he said, according to Axios.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken called Lapid on Monday, asking Israel to convey to Russia a message of the need for de-escalation, Axios reported, citing unnamed Israeli officials.

"This was the second time in recent weeks Blinken asked Israel to pass on such a message."
