以色列驻乌克兰大使迈克尔·布罗德斯基表示，以色列向乌克兰提供了美国在20世纪90年代初提供的“爱国者”防空系统。
据乌克兰通讯社报道，这位外交官在接受玛丽奇卡·多夫本科采访时首次用乌克兰语发表了上述言论。
布罗德斯基说，“20世纪90年代初，第一次海湾战争爆发时（也称为“沙漠风暴行动”，从1991年1月17日至2月28日），我们从美国获得了爱国者防空系统。顺便说一句，这些系统现在在乌克兰——这些系统在20世纪90年代初曾在以色列服役，后来我们同意将它们转让给乌克兰。遗憾的是，关于此事的消息很少，但有人说以色列没有在军事上帮助乌克兰，这是不正确的。以色列也提供了军事帮助。”
在回答以色列为何从未就向乌克兰提供军事援助发表评论的问题时，这位大使表示，他宁愿不讨论这个“敏感”话题。
这位外交官指出，“我一直强调，最好不要在媒体上、公开场合谈论这些话题，而是通过现有的特殊渠道。因此，让我们把这个问题留给专家，留给那些在这个领域工作的人去处理吧。”
正如乌克兰通讯社此前报道的那样，德国国防部长鲍里斯·皮斯托留斯表示，德国已经向乌克兰提供了四分之一的“爱国者”防空系统，现在无法提供更多，但柏林正在寻找机会从合作伙伴那里购买此类系统，然后将其移交给乌克兰。
Israeli Ambassador to Ukraine Michael Brodsky says Israel sent Ukraine Patriot air defense systems, received from the United States in the early 1990s.
The diplomat said this in an interview with Marichka Dovbenko, which he gave for the first time in Ukrainian, Ukrinform reports.
“In the early 1990s, when the first Gulf War took place (also known as Operation Desert Storm, which lasted from January 17 to February 28, 1991 – ed.), we received Patriot systems from the United States. By the way, these systems are now in Ukraine – these are systems that had been in service with Israel in the early 1990s and then we agreed to transfer them to Ukraine. Unfortunately, not much was said about this, but when some say Israel did not help Ukraine militarily, it’s not true. Israel helped in a military sense as well,” Brodsky said.
Answering the question of why Israel never comments on military assistance to Ukraine, the ambassador said he would rather not discuss this “sensitive” topic.
“I always emphasize that it is better to talk about these topics not in the media, not publicly, but through special channels that are in place. Therefore, let’s leave this topic to specialists, to those who work in this area,” the diplomat noted.
As Ukrinform reported earlier, German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius said Germany had already given Ukraine a quarter of its Patriot air defense systems and is now unable to provide more, but Berlin is looking for an opportunity to buy such systems from partners for their subsequent handover to Ukraine.
