Russia warned Tel Aviv
According to Webangah News quoted by Mehr News Agency quoted by Rashatodi, Russia’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Vassily Nebenzia, warned Tel Aviv about the consequences of the possible supply of the US-made air defense system to Ukraine.
Financial Times reported last week that the US, Israel and Ukraine are negotiating to deliver eight used Patriot air defense systems from Tel Aviv to Kyiv.
Nebenzia, referring to this report, which was published citing informed sources, said that such an action will definitely overshadow the relations between Tel Aviv and Moscow.
The senior Russian diplomat said: I believe that this action will have definite political consequences. Weapons sent to Ukraine, regardless of the sender, will eventually be destroyed just as other Western and American weapons were destroyed. There is no doubt.
In April, the Zionist regime plans to decommission the M901 PAC-2 Patriots, which have been in service for more than 30 years, and replace them with defense systems. More advanced news. However, these systems have not yet been decommissioned and are active due to concerns about the escalation of tensions with Lebanon’s Hezbollah and its turning into a full-scale war.
Financial Times has claimed that under the agreement, which has not yet been finalized, the Patriots will first be shipped from Tel Aviv to the United States and then handed over to Ukraine. During the war between Russia and Ukraine, which started in February 2022, the Zionist regime has provided only non-armed aid to Ukraine.
A year ago, Israel opposed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s request to supply Kiev with the Iron Dome defense system. Russia has repeatedly warned about the supply of foreign weapons to Ukraine and emphasized that this action only prolongs the war and has no effect on its final outcome.
