Israel denies supply of cruise missiles to Ukraine

Israel denied the supply of missile weapons to Ukraine through Estonia.

Despite the appearance in the media of information about the delivery of Israeli Blue Spear cruise missiles to Ukraine, designed to destroy naval targets and the subsequent confirmation by Estonia of the supply of Israeli weapons to Ukraine, Israel unexpectedly denied these data, noting that the supply of Israeli anti-ship missiles to the territory of Ukraine was not were carried out. Such information is provided by the Israeli edition of the Jerusalem Post.

The Israeli Defense Ministry on Saturday denied a false report that it had agreed to Estonia's request to equip Ukraine with the Blue Spear surface-to-sea missile system (5G SSM). Ukrainian journalist Rostyslav Demchuk said on Friday that Estonia, which purchased an unspecified number of Blue Spear systems from its manufacturer Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) in October 2021, has asked Israel for permission to transfer one of the systems to the Ukrainian Armed Forces, which is currently continuing to keep the defense in Ukraine. Demchuk said that Israel complied with the request of the Baltic country. Both Estonia and Israel have rejected this claim.”, - the Israeli edition reports.

At the same time, earlier the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Estonia, Eva-Maria Liimets, officially announced that Israel did not interfere with the supply of its weapons, previously sold to the Estonian army, to the territory of Ukraine. This raises some questions as to which of the proposed official data are reliable.
