"Russia has peppered Ukraine with more than 57,000 Iranian-made Shahed drones since launching its invasion on February 24, 2022, the same type of mass-produced drones that Iran is now launching at its neighbors across the Middle East. Middle East nations seeking Ukrainian expertise; Europeans are, too."
"With some Western allies especially the US under President Donald Trump less than enthusiastic about continuing to provide assistance to Ukraine as it fends off Russian invaders, Kyiv suddenly has something its allies desperately want and need, effective anti-drone technology."
"Ukraine has already dispatched teams of experts to the Middle East since Israel and the US launched their war against Iran, specifically to Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates (UAE); and President Zelenskyy has been actively making the rounds to European allies keen to protect their assets."
Ukraine is capitalizing on its extensive experience combating Russian drone warfare to maintain international support as media attention shifts toward Middle East conflicts. Having faced over 57,000 Iranian-made Shahed drones since 2022, Ukraine possesses critical expertise that Middle Eastern and European nations urgently need. President Zelenskyy is actively engaging allies through diplomatic missions, dispatching expert teams to Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE, and negotiating defense partnerships. Recent agreements include a letter of intent with Romania for drone production and planned discussions with France regarding defense cooperation and economic impacts of regional conflicts.
