US EditionZelenskyy Seeks Fuel Supply Deals During Middle East Tour
Zelenskiy secured 10-year defense agreements and a year-long diesel supply deal with Gulf states amid energy market turmoil and stalled EU financial aid.
- Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy announced 10-year defense agreements with Saudi Arabia and Qatar on Saturday, calling the deals worth "billions" while finalizing diesel supplies during his Middle East visit.
- Zelenskiy sought long-term agreements to secure fuel supplies against global constraints and share anti-drone expertise with Persian Gulf nations facing threats from Iran.
- This diplomatic push occurs amid uncertainty regarding a $104 billion European Union loan, currently stalled by a Hungarian veto, which Ukraine needs to finance military purchases.
- Ukraine has also targeted Russian energy infrastructure, including the Ust-Luga oil port where only 40% of capacity remains intact after recent strikes aimed at curbing the Kremlin's financial resources.
- Despite concerns that regional conflicts could divert military resources, Zelenskiy stated he sees no signs of pledged aid shifting as President Donald Trump monitors developments involving Iran and Israel.
