The Israeli side officially transfers smart missile and drone warning technologies to Ukraine.

Ambassador of Ukraine to the State of Israel Yevhen Korniichuk stated this, Ukrinform reports.

"Work is ongoing on the transfer of Israeli technologies related to intelligent warning of missiles and drones. That is, the Israeli side officially transfers this technology. And I think that we will receive it in full in a certain time," said Korniichuk.

On January 2, the newly appointed Minister of Foreign Affairs of Israel, Eli Cohen, said that Israel would start "speaking less publicly" about the war between russia and Ukraine.

The new head of the Israeli Foreign Ministry also announced a planned conversation with lavrov, the minister of foreign affairs of russia. He also refused to comment on providing defensive weapons to Ukraine and said that Ukraine would continue receiving "significant humanitarian aid."

Eli Cohen said: "On the russian-Ukrainian issue, we will do one thing for sure, speak less publicly about it."

The ambassador of Ukraine to Israel, Yevhen Korniichuk, stated that the conversation between the Israeli Foreign Minister, Eli Cohen, and the aggressor country's foreign minister, sergey lavrov, may lead to a change in Israeli policy.

Korniichuk also emphasized Israel's unclear war policy. Israel does not in any way condemn the massive strikes on the critical infrastructure of Ukraine. "Israel is unique from the point of view of our partners. It is silent," emphasized Korniychuk.

According to an unnamed Israeli diplomat, Cohen conveyed to lavrov a message from US Secretary of State Antony Blinken that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was ready to mediate if one of the parties asked him to do so.

Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba believes it is too early to talk about the position of the new Israeli government regarding the war in Ukraine. However, he "roughly" imagines what it will be.

The new Israeli government was sworn in on December 29 last year. The leader of the conservative Likud party, Benjamin Netanyahu, who at various times held the position of the prime minister of Israel for more than 15 years and returned to it after a year and a half in opposition, presented 33 members of the government from among the right-wing nationalist religious coalition.
