Israel has proposed transferring Russian-made weapons, captured by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) from Hezbollah in Lebanon, to Ukraine. This proposal was made by Israeli Deputy Foreign Minister Sharren Haskel during an official meeting with Ukrainian Ambassador Yevhen Korniychuk on January 21, 2025. The weapons were part of the loot captured from Hezbollah. The move represents a potential shift in Israel's foreign policy, as it has previously refrained from sending military aid to Ukraine to avoid provoking Russia. The Israeli Embassy has not confirmed the transfer, indicating a complex diplomatic situation.
