Ukraine Is Using Its Drone Expertise to Help 5 Countries Against Iran Attacks, Zelenskyy Says
Ukraine has deployed drone interceptor teams to five Gulf countries to protect against Iranian Shahed drones and is exploring expanded security cooperation, officials said.
- Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Friday that Ukraine has deployed interceptor units to counter Shahed drone attacks in the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, and Jordan.
- Amid the Iran war, which began February 28 with Israeli and U.S. strikes on Iran, the Middle East conflict has diverted international attention from Ukraine's plight.
- As a leading producer of drone interceptors, Ukraine has provided expert assessments and helped build defense systems while the U.S. requested support for personnel in two regional areas.
- Ukraine is assessing long-term security cooperation with partners and exploring a role in the Strait of Hormuz while fearing fewer advanced air‑defence missiles amid stockpile strains and awaiting a 90‑billion‑euro EU loan.
- To resume stalled talks, Zelenskyy said Thursday he sent an official delegation to the United States as Russian forces hold nearly 20% of Ukraine.
