"Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced on Saturday that his military had received a US-made Patriot anti-aircraft system from Israel, and that it had already been in operation for a month. He also said that Kyiv would be getting two more Patriot launchers this autumn, but did not specify where they were coming from. The move was seen as somewhat of a surprise."
"Ukraine has voted in favor of UN resolutions calling for an end to Israeli occupation of some of the Palestinian territories. While the Israeli government under Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sent some humanitarian aid to Ukraine early in the conflict, Netanyahu has refused to follow suit on Western sanctions against Russia. Moreover, it sided with Russia against Ukraine on a UN resolution reaffirming Ukraine's territorial integrity."
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said his military received a US-made Patriot anti-aircraft system from Israel that has been operating for a month. He announced that Kyiv will receive two more Patriot launchers this autumn, without specifying their origin. The delivery was described as a surprise. Ukraine has supported UN resolutions calling to end Israeli occupation of some Palestinian territories. Israel provided early humanitarian aid to Ukraine but declined to join Western sanctions on Russia and sided with Russia on a UN vote about Ukraine's territorial integrity. Recently, Netanyahu's government has moved to distance itself from Moscow as Russia deepens ties with Iran.
