Ukrainian experts will travel to the Middle East to help regional countries repel Iranian suicide drone attacks amid growing tensions with Iran that began last weekend.
The information was confirmed by the Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelenskyon its official Telegram channel, as reported by the Ukrainian portal Militarnyi. The site also stressed that these plans should not affect the defense capabilities of the country, which continues to face daily attacks from Russia.
Zelensky participated in a meeting to address the situation in the Middle East and the Gulf region, discussing challenges for Ukraine and its partners, as well as opportunities to help protect lives, avoid further escalation of war and stabilize global markets.
Ukraine is consulting with its partners in Europe and the United States, as well as Iran’s neighbors, such as the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Jordan and Bahrain. Negotiations with Kuwait and other countries in the region are also expected to take place.
According to Zelensky, Iran has already used more than 800 missiles of different types and more than 1,400 attack drones in recent days. “Ukrainian experts will work on site, and the teams are already negotiating on this,” said the Ukrainian president.
“And we stand ready to help protect lives, protect civilians and support genuine efforts to stabilize the situation and restore, in particular, safe navigation in the region. »
The Armed Forces of Ukraine have unique practical experience in combating Iranian kamikaze drones in a large-scale war, acquired on active battlefields during the ongoing war against Russia.
