RUSSIA'S BIG ULTIMATUM TO ISRAEL OVER PLAN TO TRANSFER WEAPONS TO UKRAINE

Russia's UN Ambassador, Vassily Nebenzia, warned Israel of political consequences if it supplies Ukraine with air defense systems, specifically discussing up to eight Patriot systems. Nebenzia stated that such actions could strain Israel-Russia relations and prolong the conflict in Ukraine. Israel, which has only provided humanitarian aid to Ukraine so far, is considering retiring its M901 PAC-2 batteries and possibly sending them to Ukraine via the US.
