Israel provides Ukraine with its intelligence on Iranian drones and Russian positions – NYT

Ukraine probably receives intelligence from Israel about Iranian drones and the positions of the Russians.

Israel provides Ukraine with its intelligence on Iranian drones, which Russia uses to terrorize the Ukrainian population.

The New York Times writes about this with reference to an anonymous Ukrainian official.

«Israel provides Ukraine with basic intelligence data on Iranian drones, which Russia has begun to use on the battlefield,» the message reads.

In addition, the publication writes that a private Israeli firm provides Ukraine with satellite images of the positions of Russian troops in Ukraine.

It should be noted that earlier Israel took a minimal part in helping Ukraine. In particular, Kyiv asked Jerusalem to provide air defense systems, taking into account the success of the Israeli «Iron Dome», as well as long-range anti-aircraft missile systems «Barak 8». However, Israel has so far refused to do so, not wanting to «provoke Russia» to interfere with Israeli airstrikes in Syria, where Russia also has a military presence.

As a result, President Volodymyr Zelensky reprimanded Israel for the lack of aid to Ukraine, saying that he was «stunned» by this.

Instead, Israel said that President Volodymyr Zelensky’s words about the lack of military aid from Tel Aviv «do not reflect the full picture.» In particular, Israel’s ambassador to Ukraine, Michael Brodsky, said that, they say, Tel Aviv provides considerable humanitarian aid to Ukraine. In particular, it is about psychological support.
