Ukraine Gets Defense Boost from Israel
Newsweek ^ | 2/28/2024 | Brendan Cole

Posted on 02/28/2024 5:10:47 AM PST by marcusmaximus

Israel will provide Ukraine with an early warning system against missiles as part of an aid package for Kyiv, as it condemned aggression from Russia

Israel's ambassador to the United Nations, Gilad Erdan, told the General Assembly on Monday that his country had provided humanitarian aid to Ukraine since the start of Vladimir Putin's full-scale invasion because it was "the moral thing to do."

Comparing Russia's actions in Ukraine to the militant Hamas group's attacks on Israel on October 7, Erdan said his country knows "exactly how it feels to be aggressively invaded, (and) to have our towns and cities attacked" as he took aim at the "paralyzed" UN for not condemning the massacre that preceded the war in Gaza.

"Both of our countries—Ukraine and Israel—are fighting a battle for our survival," Erdan said, as he touted 100 million tons of humanitarian aid Israel provided to Kyiv in the early weeks of the war.

"The state of Israel will always remain committed to Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity," he said, telling the assembly that his country was "working to provide Ukraine with early warning systems to save civilian lives from Russia's indiscriminate missile and drone attacks."

He added that Russia would be hosting a Hamas delegation in Moscow, making "it one of the only places outside of the Middle East where Hamas terrorists and Houthi Jihadists are given the red-carpet treatment, even after October 7."

Two years ago, Russia was supposed to conquer Kyiv in 3 days.

Well, that's what the international media were saying at the time, but it was never clear that was actually an objective that the Russians had set for themselves. No one in the press ever bothered to offer an explanation of how an occupation of Kiev would serve Russia's war objectives, which did include the occupation and permanent annexation of the Russian-speaking regions of southern and eastern Ukraine, an objective that they have achieved.

It's time to face the fact that the Russians aren't leaving. The only issue remaining to be settled is just how many people have to die before reality is accepted.

You do not see that Israel directly identified Russia as welcoming Hamas?
That Russia has both Hamas and the Houthis on friendly visits?
Who am I slandering, pos mass murderer and Hamas supporter Putin?

What are you complaining about? This article in which ISRAEL supports Ukraine because Putin is supporting Hamas and Iran?

You are total bs.

So then you directly do not want Russia to stop supporting hamas even after they murdered babies.

Instead you are complaining that there is a war on Russia while Russia tears up Europe?

You’re a fake and a phoney.

ON THE EFFECTIVE USE OF PROXY WARFARE - by Andrew Lewis Peek, May 2021, Dissertation for PhD

CHAPTER THREE: RUSSIA AND UKRAINE, 2013-2016 [pg 118 of 446 in the PDF file] "This chapter will examine Russia’s use of proxy forces in Ukraine from the beginning of demonstrations in Kiev’s Maidan Square on November 21, 2013 to the dissipation of the conflict in 2016. Though it covers all the high-intensity periods of the war, this chapter is focused on the fighting in Donbas and not Russia’s takeover of Crimea."
