Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar informed Ukrainian Ambassador to Israel Yevhen Korniychuk on Wednesday that he had instructed his ministry to provide Ukraine, through MASHAV (Israel's National Aid Agency within the Foreign Ministry), an aid package that will supply drinking water systems to hundreds of thousands of people affected by Russian bombings.
The aid package will be allocated from the Foreign Ministry's budget. It will consist of a series of water systems, each capable of supplying water to tens of thousands of people.
The drinking water systems will be installed in the eastern regions of Ukraine, areas where the infrastructure has been damaged by Russian bombings, and the population there is suffering from a lack of water.
Previous aid assistance from Israel to Ukraine
This aid package adds to the humanitarian assistance Israel has provided to Ukraine since the outbreak of the war in February 2022.
As part of this assistance, Israel has operated "air and land bridges" of food, medicine, and other essential supplies to Ukraine; a field hospital was established at the beginning of the war; and during the first quarter of 2025, hundreds of electricity supply units were distributed in regions affected by bombings.
