Ukrainian experts will travel to the Middle East to help countries in the region repel attacks by Iranian kamikaze drones amid rising tensions with Iran that began last weekend.
The information was confirmed by the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyon his official Telegram channel, as reported by the Ukrainian portal Militarnyi. The site also stressed that these plans are not expected to affect the country’s defense capabilities, which continue to face daily attacks from Russia.
Zelensky attended a meeting to discuss 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 the war and stabilize global markets.
Ukraine consults partners in Europe and the United States, as well as Iran’s neighboring countries 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 various types and more than 1,400 attack drones in recent days. “Ukrainian experts will work on the spot, and the teams are already negotiating about this,” the Ukrainian president said.
“And we stand ready to help protect lives, protect civilians and support real efforts to stabilize the situation and especially restore safe navigation in the region.”
The Ukrainian military has unique practical experience in combating Iranian kamikaze drones in a large-scale war, gained on active battlefields during the ongoing war against Russia.
It is worth remembering that Russia and Iran are military partners, as noted by Oleksandr MerezhkoChairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Parliament of Ukraine. To Associated Press he emphasized that the conflicts between Russia and Ukraine are linked to Iran’s attacks.
