US EditionZelenskyy Says Ukraine Wants Money, Technology in Return for Middle East Drone Help
Ukraine sent teams to Gulf states to provide drone defense against Iranian attacks while seeking funding and technology, with almost a dozen countries requesting help, Zelenskiy said.
- On March 15, 2026, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said Ukraine is offering paid help to Middle Eastern states to defend against Iranian kamikaze drones in exchange for money and technology.
- Demand rose after heavy missile use against Iranian drones, prompting Ukraine to send three teams earlier this week to Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, and a U.S. military base in Jordan.
- Three specialist teams, each of dozens, will conduct expert assessments and demonstrate drone defences based on Kyiv's nightly experience downing Russian drones.
- Negotiations remain under way over Ukraine's aid terms, with Zelenskiy saying what Kyiv will receive still needs discussion and stressing assistance is about protection, not operations.
- The move positions Ukraine internationally as exporting battlefield-tested drone-defence expertise to Gulf states and a U.S. military base in Jordan while Ukraine remains under Russian attack.
