Ukraine’s official request from Israel for defense systems against Iran
The Ukrainian government has officially requested Israel to equip its army with defense systems against Iranian drones. This request has been made while Israel is facing pressure from Russia, which has asked this government not to intervene in this matter. Nevertheless, the Ukrainians, who have already made significant coordination with the Israelis in countering Iran’s drone program, continue with their official requests on this issue and understand that they should not take seriously the doubts or even official statements by the Israelis about not sending these systems.
It should be noted that, as we previously reported, a senior official from Israel’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs finalized these agreements with the Ukrainians a long time ago. Part of the joint program between Israel and Ukraine is a security plan to counter Iran’s drone program within a special framework to control this program at the drone production lines.
