Ukrainian experts working with five Middle Eastern countries to counter shahed movement – Zelenskyy
Ukrainian experts are working with five Middle Eastern countries to counter the shahed movement, and there are still additional requests from other countries, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said following a report by National Security and Defense Council (NSDC) Secretary Rustem Umerov.
“Our teams are already working with five countries on countering “shahed” drones – we have provided expert assessments and are helping build a defense system. Additional requests have been received from other states. There are also requests from the U.S. side regarding expert support for their military personnel in two areas of the region. We are also reviewing requests from European partners whose forces are based in the region,” Zelenskyy said on X Friday.
He noted that Ukraine is interested in the speedy and reliable stabilization of the situation around Iran, as this is of global significance in terms of the state of the oil and gas markets, and, consequently, the price situation, particularly in Europe and Ukraine.
“We also take a principled stance on the unacceptability of any success of the terror campaign of the Iranian regime – a long-time accomplice of Russia. Nowhere in the world can terrorists be allowed to determine the fate of people and countries,” the President emphasized.
