Your own link suggests a Maybe at best.

The considerable natural resources in Ukraine’s energy sphere remain underexplored and underused today despite the fact that their use could spur economic growth..

It then goes on to say it would cost about 20 Billion dollars to put in the infrastructure to even begin refining/piping the oil.

Israel is already pumping and exporting oil. It's also already in bed with the US. From a corporate greed perspective, the choice is easy.

His link says yes, this is an intentionally incorrect response. Either that or you are an idiot speaking with confidence. But your description of Israel as a major oil producing state makes it pretty certain you are lying intentionally.
