The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Israel Eli Cohen in a conversation with his Ukrainian counterpart Dmytro Kuleba informed that his country plans to increase assistance to Ukraine in humanitarian and other areas.

"In our first call, Eli Cohen and I discussed cooperation within the framework of international organizations, ways to counter common security threats. The Minister Cohen condemned Russian aggression against Ukraine, confirmed Israelʼs plans to increase humanitarian aid and support in other areas," Dmytro Kuleba noted.

It will be recalled that the USA agreed to supply Ukraine with 155-mm artillery ammunition from American warehouses located on the territory of Israel.

  • Since February 24, Israel has exclusively provided humanitarian aid to Ukraine in large volumes. On October 19, the Defense Minister Benny Gantz said that his country will help Ukraine develop a warning system for air defense, but Israel does not plan to supply Ukrainians with weapons.
  • On January 13, Ambassador of Ukraine Yevhen Korniychuk announced that Israel will transfer technologies related to intelligent warning of missile attacks and drones to the Ukrainian side. At the same time, he added that there are also many projects that cannot be publicly commented on yet.
