Why does Ukraine need this?
The summit became another step towards strengthening Ukrainian-Israeli cooperation in medicine, security, and crisis management.
Ukraine gains access to advanced technologies and proven response methods that help save lives in conditions of war and increased threat.
For Israel, this is an opportunity to share experience and strengthen a strategic partnership that practically benefits both countries.
In this context, such initiatives become part of a broader picture of cooperation, where the exchange of technologies, training of specialists, and joint projects form a new standard of interaction.
