Ukraine helping five countries to counter drone attacks during Gulf conflict

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy arrived in Saudi Arabia days after revealing that Ukraine is helping five countries in the Middle East and Gulf region to counter drone attacks on their territory during the Gulf Conflict. Ukrainian officials did not provide details of Zelenskyy’s trip. He said last week that Ukrainian officials are helping Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Kuwait and Jordan with drone expertise and helping build a defense system. In return, Ukraine is seeking more of the high-end air-defense missiles that Gulf countries possess and which Kyiv needs to stop Russia’s missiles. Ukraine has quickly grown into one of the world’s leading producers of cutting-edge, battle-tested drone interceptors that are cheap and effective.
