Arestovych conceded that because of Russia’s aggressive attacks, Israel may begin to help Ukraine, perhaps not directly, but through third countries.
In his opinion, Israel has many weapons that NATO cannot give to Ukraine.
“We saw it all in the Karabakh war: the Azerbaijani army used them. For example, kamikaze drones like Harop, or Harpy. There is, for example, Spike, a long-range APC that allows the operator to change the trajectory, retarget mid-flight, say, it was flying into one tank, but then it flew into another one. We have seen many such pictures from Karabakh. And a lot of other stuff, like unmanned aerial vehicles, anti-tank weapons and so on,” Arestovych said.
He stressed that Israel would always think about its position in the Middle East and that the country has a small territory despite its technological, scientific and military power. It is surrounded on all sides by neighbors with superior forces, and it will act based on the safety of its citizens.
“Israel has ways to respond to Lavrov’s words if it wants to,” Arestovych said.
