The Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs has offered to transfer to Ukraine Russian weapons seized by the IDF in Lebanon or “anywhere else from Israel’s enemies.” This was discussed at a meeting between Ukraine’s Ambassador to Israel Yevhen Korniychuk and Israeli Deputy Foreign Minister Sharren Haskel on January 21.

This was reported by the press service of the Ukrainian Embassy in Israel.

The proposal to transfer to Ukraine Russian-made weapons seized by the IDF in Lebanon or elsewhere from Israel’s enemies was voiced by the country’s Foreign Minister.

“This initiative is an important step in recognizing the common threats faced by both countries. The Ukrainian side expressed hope for a positive resolution of this issue,” the statement said.

The parties discussed common challenges for Ukraine and Israel, including military cooperation between Iran and Russia, which threatens the security of both countries. The ambassador emphasized that countering this threat is a common interest of Ukraine and Israel.

They also discussed intensifying high-level contacts and developing cooperation in the economic, consular, and humanitarian spheres.
