Israel plans to transfer early warning systems for missile strikes and drone attacks to the Ukrainian army, Israeli permanent representative to the UN Gilad Erdan said during a meeting of the UN General Assembly on February 26.

"Israel is working toward supplying Ukraine with early warning systems" for protection against Russian missile strikes and drone attacks. We are forced to develop expertizing in this field, and we are ready to share our capability with our Ukrainian friends in need," Erdan said in his speech.

He also said Israel has been supporting Ukraine since the first weeks of the full-scale Russian invasion.

"Israel sent more than 100 tonnes of humanitarian equipment to our Ukrainian allies within one week of the Russian invasion. We also established field hospitals within Ukraine's border, which treated over 7,000 injured, hundreds of Ukrainian patients have also been treated in hospitals and rehabilitation centres across Israel," the Israeli representative said.
