The Israeli Foreign Ministry has denied the claim that Jerusalem has transferred Patriot systems to Ukraine.
This is stated in the departmentʼs response to a request from the Israeli media outlet Ynet.
"These statements are not true. Israel did not transfer Patriot systems to Ukraine," the ministry emphasized.
The media also writes that Russia demanded clarification from Israel regarding the statement about the transfer of Patriot.
- Israeli Ambassador to Ukraine Michael Brodsky, in an interview published on June 8, told Marichka Dovbenko that Ukraine had received Patriot anti-aircraft missile systems from Israel.
- Brodsky did not specify when Ukraine received these systems. In June 2024, the Financial Times wrote that the United States, Israel, and Ukraine were negotiating to supply Kyiv with up to eight Patriot systems. And The New York Times wrote that one Patriot system, previously located in Israel, would be moved to Ukraine by the summer.
