President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that 201 Ukrainian military experts are currently deployed in the Middle East and Gulf region, helping to defend against Shahed drones, with another 34 specialists ready for deployment.
The Ukrainian President made this statement during an address to members of the UK Parliament, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.
“Right now, there are 201 Ukrainians in the Middle East and Gulf region, and another 34 are ready to deploy. These are military experts – experts who know how to help, how to defend against Shahed drones. Our teams are already in the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and on the way to Kuwait,” Zelensky said.
He noted that Ukraine is also cooperating with several other countries and that relevant agreements have already been concluded.
“We do not want this terror of the Iranian regime against its neighbors to succeed,” he emphasized.
The President added that he had sent the military experts at the request of partners, including the United States. According to him, this is effectively part of a drone-related agreement proposed by Ukraine to the U.S., which is still on the table.
