The Embassy of Ukraine stated: "We express our gratitude to the Israeli government, in particular the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, for organizing the treatment process for Ukrainian soldiers in leading hospitals in Israel free of charge."
From the beginning of the war, Israel refused to provide aid to wounded Ukrainians, despite repeated requests from Ukraine.
