"At the beginning of the 90s, when the first war in the Gulf was being fought, we received Patriot systems from the USA. They are now in Ukraine, where we agreed to transfer them," he said, Ukrinform reported.

Brodsky added that, unfortunately, not much was said about it, so it is not true when it is said that Israel did not help Ukraine militarily.

Asked why Israel itself does not talk about military aid to Ukraine, the ambassador said that he would not like to talk about that topic since it is very sensitive.

"I always emphasize that it is better not to talk about such topics in the press and publicly, but through the special channels that exist. Therefore, let's leave that topic to the specialists who work in that direction," said Brodski.

The Ukrainian agency reported that German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius said that his country had already given Ukraine a quarter of its Patriot air defense systems, and that it could not deliver a larger number, but that Berlin was looking for the possibility of buying these systems from its partners, which it could subsequently transfer to Ukraine.
