Since the beginning of the war in February 2022, Israel has provided significant humanitarian assistance to Ukraine. As part of this assistance, Israel operated "air and ground bridges" to Ukraine delivering food, medicine, and other essential supplies. 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 the bombings.
