Israel cannot supply its air defense systems to Ukraine, as it does not have sufficient capacities for additional production, said Beni Ganz Minister of Defense, BBC reports.
A similar explanation of the refusal of Kyiv in military supplies sounds from the Israeli authorities for the first time. Previously, the position of Israel was explained by the desire to maintain neutrality in the conflict of fears that the Russian presence in neighboring Syria would affect Israeli external security, the British media notes.
“It is obvious that, even if we decide to change our policy [regarding the supply of weapons to Ukraine], it is impossible to devastate our reserves of air defense systems, – said the HANC. – We check every day what can be done and how we can expand how it can be expanded Our help, but we must not forget that NATO is behind Ukraine. “
Since the beginning of the war, Israel has been providing Ukraine with large-scale humanitarian aid, including the provision of its doctors and military field medical equipment. GANC assured that this help will continue.
