Ukraine trusts in Israeli mediation, denies Bennett advised caving to Russia
LVIV, Ukraine/JERUSALEM, March 12 (Reuters) - Ukraine voiced hope on Saturday for positive results from Israel's bid to broker peace with Russia, denying a media report that suggested Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett had tried to nudge Kyiv into caving to Moscow's demands.
Bennett, acting at Ukraine's behest, held a three-hour Kremlin meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin last Saturday. He has since spoken twice with Putin by phone and four times with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, officials say.
