Israel delivers 2,000 helmets, 500 protective vests to Ukraine

Israel sent on Wednesday 2,000 helmets and 500 protective vests to emergency and civilian organizations in Ukraine.

Israel has previously provided humanitarian assistance, including a field hospital that was set up in Ukraine, in addition to about 100 tons of humanitarian supplies that have included water purification systems, medical equipment, blankets and coats. But it has not sent any weaponry or defense systems, partly out of fears of further worsening ties with Russia, with which Israel must coordinate its strikes on pro-Iranian targets in Syria.
