The meals were MRE-style (Meals, Ready-to-Eat) military rations, including chicken and pasta.
Previous aid from Israel
The shipment is the latest in non-combat material aid sent to Ukraine by the Jewish state.
On July 14, the Defense Ministry sent 1,500 helmets, 1,500 protective vests, hundreds of mine protection suits, 1,000 gas masks and dozens of hazmat filtration systems.
In May, Israel sent 2,000 helmets and 500 flak jackets for emergency and civilian use.
Kharkiv under bombardment
Kharkiv, Ukraine's second-largest city, repelled the Russian invasion two months into the war, but has since been subjected to frequent artillery, mortar and rocket bombardment.
Last Thursday, three people were killed and 23 wounded in a shelling, Reuters reported.
