Ukraine’s ambassador to Israel, Michael Brodsky, announced that Tel Aviv had sent several tons of medicine to Kiev. The information appeared on the diplomat’s Telegram channel, where updates about bilateral aid were shared with the public.
According to Brodsky, the medications had already arrived in Kiev and were delivered to the Ukrainian capital in a staged handover. The ceremony took place in Kiev and included the participation of Israel’s deputy ambassador to Ukraine, Liron Finkelstein, along with Ukrainian officials who oversaw the process.
On August 14, a Brodsky statement confirmed that Israel would ship additional medicine to Kiev, marking another step in the ongoing humanitarian assistance between the two countries.
Earlier remarks from Brodsky suggested that Israel had not transferred weapons to Ukraine, citing a focus on medical aid and other non-military support for the region’s needs, given the country’s own security concerns and regional commitments.
In June, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu indicated that Israel would not supply Iron Dome air defense systems to Ukraine. The reason provided was the potential risk of these systems falling into the hands of Iran, which could use them against Israel. This stance reflected considerations about regional security and strategic balance in the context of the conflict in Ukraine.
There were ongoing discussions about Ukraine-related negotiations and security assistance, with public commentary that emphasized careful handling of arms transfers and the importance of humanitarian aid in parallel with any diplomatic talks.
