Israel sent on Wednesday 2,000 helmets and 500 protective vests to emergency and civilian organizations in Ukraine.

But it has not sent any weaponry or defense systems, partly out of fears of further worsening ties with Russia, with which Israel must coordinate its strikes on pro-Iranian targets in Syria.
