“Israel needs to be more assertive and defend its interests,” said Arkady Mil-Man, a former Israeli ambassador to Russia. “We must explain and convey to the Russians that we will no longer stand any assistance to Hezbollah and Iran that could hurt Israelis,” said Mil-Man, now a senior researcher at the Institute for National Security Studies in Tel Aviv. ...“We need to sober...

Arkady Mil-Man, a former Israeli ambassador to Russia now at the Institute for National Security Studies at Tel Aviv University, said that Mr. Netanyahu appeared to ignore that “Israel is perceived as an enemy by the Russians.” The relationship between Israel and Russia would only worsen, he said, because “the Russians chose a clearly anti-Israeli side.”

Following Moscow's intervention in the Syrian civil war, Israel worked closely with the Kremlin as it mounted its own air campaign in Syria targeting Iranian-backed forces, said former Israeli ambassador to Russia, Arkady Milman, now a researcher at the Institute for National Security Studies in Tel Aviv. Russia controlled Syria's airspace and was, in effect, authorising...

Arkady Mil-Man, a researcher at the Institute for National Security Studies and former Israeli ambassador to Russia, said the bogus articles are used by Russia as part of an “emotional and psychological” war on Ukraine’s Western backers, especially targeting countries where support for Kyiv is ambivalent or divided, such as Israel, the US, France and Germany.

Among the more disturbing items in the recent leak of classified Pentagon materials is evidence that Egypt was prepared to manufacture rockets and other munitions for Russia. Yoel Guzansky and Arkady Mil-Man examine this and other revelations about the Kremlin’s relations with the Arab world in light of what is already known about the subject. They find that Vladimir Putin has...

“The foundation of the relations between Israel and other democracies is the shared values,” said Arkady Mil-Man, a former Israeli ambassador to Russia. “It makes sense that Israeli allies will be concerned.” Throughout the Blinken visit, and during visits by other American officials, the shared values were repeatedly underscored as if to warn against any change.

Born in Lviv, Ukraine, Arkadi Mil-Man served as Israeli ambassador to Russia between 2003 and 2006. He is currently a senior researcher and head of the Russia Program at the Institute for National Security Studies. As a top expert on national security and foreign policy, he speaks exclusively to Kyiv Post on what a drone attack last night – believed to have been carried out by...

Arkady Mil-Man, a senior researcher and head of the Russia Program at the Institute for National Security Studies, told the Israel Broadcasting Corporation: "It is unlikely that the Russians will receive this news well. Even today, Israel has refrained from supplying offensive weapons to Ukraine. By doing so from stocks in Israel, Israel has involuntarily supported Ukraine."
