The Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman in an exclusive interview with Tass announced that one of the priorities of Israel is to maintain its good relations with Russia. He said that this is not just a desire, but a necessity.

Referring to the Ukrainian crisis Lieberman declared that Israel has a neutral position in this regard and considers it to be right, as Israel is in good relations with both Russia and Ukraine. "Moscow and Kiev trust us and this is a good foundation for intermediary efforts. We have repeatedly stated about our readiness to imply such efforts and these were not simply words,"- Lieberman said in his interview with Tass.
