Original Note:
A Geostationary orbit is only possible above the equator. Therefore, a geosynchronous orbit is not over a specific country but rather over every country sharing the satellite's longitude. Both Israel and the Donbas region of Ukraine have a longitude of roughly 35. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geostationary_orbit https://www.latlong.net/
