Twenty wounded Ukrainian service members will be treated in Israel for the first time, Israel’s envoy to Ukraine said, amid an intense push from Kyiv for support from Israel.
Israel’s Ambassador to Ukraine Michael Brodsky said Sunday that the first two wounded Ukrainians were set to arrive in Israel Sunday for treatment at Sheba Medical Center outside Tel Aviv.
“Israel will receive for treatment 20 Ukrainian servicemen who were seriously wounded during the war,” Brodsky said. “The treatment includes prosthetics and rehabilitation.”
It was not known when the other 18 would arrive or if the mission could be expanded.
A Foreign Ministry spokesperson confirmed that Ukrainians were being brought to Israel.
Sheba ran a field hospital in western Ukraine, away from the front lines, for six weeks shortly after Russia invaded, mostly to treat civilians.
Israel for years provided medical treatment to Syrians who came to the Golan border during the civil war there, eventually setting up a military field hospital as part of what was described as a humanitarian effort.
The announcement that Ukrainians would be brought to Israel came after harsh criticism against Israel from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who said Friday he was “shocked” by Israel’s lack of defense aid.
Israel has provided Ukraine humanitarian aid and protective equipment, including helmets and flak jackets, but has held off on military supplies as Jerusalem seeks to preserve crucial ties with Moscow.
Israel was one of the few countries to have had warm ties with both warring sides at the start of the war, although the relationship with Moscow has soured in recent months.
Israel has increasingly sided with Kyiv, especially since Prime Minister Yair Lapid took office in July. His predecessor, Naftali Bennett, attempted to broker a deal between Ukraine and Russia.
Russia controls the airspace over Syria, where Israel operates against Iran-linked forces including Lebanon’s Hezbollah terror group. Russia has largely turned a blind eye to the Israeli airstrikes.
Russia is also home to a significant Jewish population, which appears to have become a bargaining chip, as Russia has threatened to shut down the Jewish Agency, which facilitates Jewish emigration to Israel.
Thousands of Ukrainians and Russians, mostly Jewish, have fled to Israel since the start of the war.
Ukraine has requested Israeli missile defense systems, such as Iron Dome, that could be used to fend off Russian airstrikes.
“I understand they need to defend their land, but then I got information from my intelligence services that Israel provides [the air defenses] in other countries. They can sell, they can export, which is why I am shocked,” Zelensky said.
Israel keeps a lid on how many Iron Dome batteries it possesses and where they are deployed, but it has provided two of the systems to the US, which helped fund its development, and reports recently indicated a deal to sell batteries to Cyprus.
The vaunted Iron Dome intercepts short-range projectiles, such as the relatively crude rockets and mortars fired at Israel by Gaza terror groups. It’s unclear if it would be effective against the larger, more sophisticated Russian missiles pounding Ukrainian cities. The system also requires highly trained troops for its operation.
Earlier this month, The Times of Israel’s Hebrew sister site Zman Yisrael reported that an Israeli defense contractor was supplying anti-drone systems to Ukraine’s military by way of Poland.
A very convenient way to carry out their usual organ trafficking.
“Twenty wounded Ukrainian service members will be treated in Israel for the first time…”
This is absolutely gorgeous on the part of the most moral country in the world. Marvelous! That THEY should take 20, I’ll repeat that … 20! … wounded Ukrainian service members. The flower of Ukrainian manhood who have given their all to their most precious and righteous Jewish leader … Jerulzowski … or whatever. You know, the piano dick-player guy.
Remember, it’s not just about you! We ALL have a moral responsibility to SAVE the privately owned and operated central banksterin’ system. For THEM! Cos their needs, their values, and their lives are SO much more important! Isn’t it self-evident?
Remember, there is NO God. There is only the flesh and the blood and the here and the now.
There is no soul. No retribution. There is no absolution!
Everyone’s EQUAL!
Including Pooftas! And Pedophages! And Transexualists!
There is no such thing as TRUTH!
It’s all RELATIVE!
There’s ONLY carnal appetites and needs!
It’s ALL GOOD!, fer phucksakes.
That’s said, SOME pipple’s needs are greater and more important than others.
‘Why?’ you ask.
Cos SOME is more equal than others!!
I was born in a cross-fire hurricane
And I howled at my ma in the driving rain
But it’s all right now, in fact, it’s a gas

It’s a gas! Gas! Gas
Why is this, Nico X?
Israel was God’s “chosen people” in a typically ironic Creator context…
His intention was to establish obedience to His law for its being broken by the most genetically pure rationalization substrate…
Rationalization by the most capable rational minds is the doormat to the most “awful horror” precipice for mankind.
In this way, God gave real evil a face and a modus operandi for the rest of the world to yield to or resist—-just like Christ is the face and modus operandi of the opposite.
LOL! Where’s Nico X to tell us that “duh, them Azov thugs be saviours white people!” … as Azov goons are chilling on the sandy beaches of Tel Aviv.
This is fake news spin: “Israel has increasingly sided with Kyi”
Nope, Israel is 100% connected to Kiev Jews and is the prime instigator of the war. When Russia invaded, they tried to broker a deal in their favor, and Russia said no. So that means THE JEW WILL DECLARE ALL OUT WAR ON RUSSIA.
The writer of this article is a damn liar, trying to paint Israel as a disinterested third party. Why would Jew take in wounded soldiers (like they did from Syria) if those soldiers are not fighting for Israel?
there were always israeli agents
involved with kurds, taliban, balkan
war, balticum + sharpshooters 2014
on Maidan . their objectives are
typicaly jewish : infiltrate, subvert,
pervert,deceive other states .
“Russia has largely turned a blind eye to the Israeli airstrikes [in Syria].” .. You have to ask why that is so, why does Russia allow Israel to basically bomb away at will in one of Russia’s allies?
“Russia is also home to a significant Jewish population, which appears to have become a bargaining chip,” .. Again, one has to ask why and how, as in how on earth does Russia have a “significant Jewish population” considering the utter devastation and genocidal mass murder Jews have been responsible for in Russia since around 1910? Maniacal Jews slaughtered tens of millions of Russians, destroyed the economy, starved millions upon millions of Russians, burned countless Christian churches, and threw the population basically into economic slavery.
By every reasonable right, any and every Jew spotted in Russia should be slaughtered on sigh. Yet, they’re not. The subversive, treacherous, satanic Jew scum still infest Russia. How can that be so given the gruesome history of this past century? It’s no secret who led the communists. It’s no secret who led the maniacal bolsheviks. It’s no secret who most of the thieving “oligarchs” have been, looting the country as communism allegedly fell. Yet, Jews still walk around freely in that country when they should be getting thoroughly beaten and executed on sight. The only answer can be a) the Russians are f*cking morons on the level of the Brits and dumb-f*ck Americans, and/or b) organized Jewry still has its claws deeply embedded in the throat of Russia.
Umbra Bellator–this month I began to wonder about the Pale of Settlement, which included some of Ukraine, and how much it served as an HQ for Organised Jewry rather than a confinement for them all. It was too big to be a punishment zone
My God! If there is anyone who understands the Truth of the TalmudJew hatred for Russia, that is Umbra Bellator.
Michael Paulbo has also recognised an immutable Truth.
I wonder what Nico X has to say about this…
Nico X has moved to Renegade Tribune. Why I don’t know. You can always ask him there. I follow both sites so I’ve noticed his comments over there.
@ Lewis Jones .. Agreed, sir, good point.
