Ukraine deployed three specialist air-defence teams to Gulf states to counter Iran’s Shahed drones and seeks Patriot missiles amid critical shortages, Zelenskiy said.
- On March 10, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said Ukraine sent air-defence teams to Qatar, the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia, with 'three professional, equipped teams' arriving this week.
- Amid heavy missile use by Gulf states, they sought Ukraine's expertise after expending many air-defence missiles countering Iran's attack drones, while Kyiv counters more than 57,000 Shahed-type drones nightly.
- Zelenskiy noted Ukrainian pilots and operators are key to interceptor drone effectiveness, Ukrainian specialists have been deployed to a U.S. military base in Jordan, and Reuters reported last week that the U.S. and Qatar seek Ukrainian interceptor drones as cheaper missile alternatives.
- Amid Kyiv's shortages, Zelenskiy said Ukraine seeks air-defence missiles above all, citing critical shortages for U.S.-made Patriot systems.
- With the Iran war stalling talks, Zelenskiy said the next trilateral meeting had been postponed to next week as he sought more prisoner swaps and a meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump and Russia's Vladimir Putin.
