🚨 The delegation, which met senior Israeli defence officials, was headed by Admiral Igor Kostyukov, chief of the Main Directorate of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces, commonly known as the GRU, Russia’s military intelligence agency.
🚨 The purpose of the visit and the subjects discussed during the delegation’s meetings in Israel remain unclear, but the unusual landing of a Russian military aircraft in Israel comes amid heightened regional tensions and ongoing uncertainty over the possibility of renewed military confrontation between the US, Israel and Iran.
On Monday, the Russian aircraft and the delegation departed Israel and headed to Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, where they will participate in the Russian-Ukrainian negotiations under US mediation scheduled for November 10–11.
