Israel has informed the Baltic countries that it will block the supply of Israeli weapons to Ukraine by third countries, Dzerkalo Tyzhnia reported.
“Following the announcement by the Baltic states of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania of having received U.S. approval to transfer American-made weapons to Ukraine as part of efforts to support Kyiv ahead of a potential Russian invasion, the Israeli Defense Ministry informed the three Baltic states that their possible request for the transfer of Israeli-made weapons would be rejected,” the publication’s website said on Saturday evening, citing Breaking Defense.
It is emphasized that this decision was caused by Israel’s desire to balance its relations with Russia.
“Like the United States, Israel initially approved strict end-user regulations on the sale of weapons that legally limit the ability of the buying country to ship equipment to a third party without the permission of the original manufacturer. The decision to ban was prompted by fears that Ukraine would seek to obtain Spike anti-tank systems, a joint German-Israeli production,” the report said.
This information was not confirmed by the Ministries of Defense of the Baltic States.
The Israeli Defense Ministry also declined to comment on this information, but anonymous sources in the Israeli military department noted the “delicacy of the policy” that the Israeli government should pursue when it comes to Russia.

Ukraine should close its embassy in Israel and ban israelis from visiting Ukraine.
What it’s really saying is Russia blocks transfer of Israeli weapons to Ukraine.
And Germany, since the spikes are an israeli-german production.
This is unbelievable. Israel siding with Russia? I agree Mickey. Given the world of hurt that Ukraine is in now and even if the current crisis is resolved will continue to be in a world of hurt. Ukraine needs friends, not back stabbing mother f**kers. One day Israel will be in need, I hope they get what they’ve given out.
Israel grovelling to a bunch of fucking nazis. Sick.
Israel in bed with a bunch of both German and Russian nazis. Sick for sure. Not hard to predict though, knowing where Israel’s priorities usually lie. Won’t they be surprised when Ukraine kicks Russian ass? If Ukraine can bring down some of those attack planes that should soften them up a bit.
