Russia took satellite images of U.S. airbase in days before Iranian attack, Ukraine's Zelenskyy says

- During his Gulf tour, Zelenskyy secured defense agreements with Saudi Arabia and Qatar, seeking to export Ukrainian air-defense technology in exchange for "billions" in investment for the Ukrainian defense industry.
