Before people start saying anything positive, this entire exchange is the resolution of a diplomatic tennis match that the Zionist Entity and Ukkkkraine have been having for years. Isntreal was courting Russian diplomacy and oil since the 90s and the two have had somewhat substantial population exchanges. And since at this point a country can either choose good relations with Russia or Ukraine, Russia ended up with positive Zionist relations. Putin himself has had a pro-Zionist platform for decades now.
In 2014 Isntreal was one of the few western aligned countries to not condemn Russia's annexation of Crimea, since they were still trying to get on Russia's good side. The relationship has gotten even worse since the Donbas war. Isntreal sent some aid to Ukraine, probably the minimum amount required to also stay in western graces, but they haven't sanctioned or embargoed Russian trade.
So this kind of thing was inevitable. It's dialectical materialism playing out, and probably not some manifest sympathy for Palestinians on the part of Ukkkkraine.
