Jerusalem will provide Kiev with an aid package focused on drinking water systems for areas impacted by Russian bombings, Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar informed Ukrainian Ambassador Yevgen Korniychuk on Thursday.

The assistance, to be delivered through MASHAV—the Agency for International Development Cooperation in the Israeli Foreign Ministry—will be funded from the ministry’s budget. It will include water systems, each capable of supplying drinking water to tens of thousands of people.
The systems are slated for installation in Ukraine’s eastern provinces, where infrastructure has been severely damaged and water shortages persist due to ongoing Russian attacks.
This initiative adds to Israel’s broader humanitarian support for Ukraine since the Russian invasion in February 2022. Previous aid efforts included the operation of “air and ground bridges” delivering food, medical supplies and other essentials; the establishment of a field hospital early in the war; and the distribution of hundreds of electricity supply units to bombed regions in the first quarter of 2025.
rest assured, ukraine will continue to vote with russia and iran on all anti israel resolutions
