Ukrainian president orders equipment and expertise to be provided to US in return to diplomatic support against Russia, saying ‘we help to defend from war those who help us’

The United States and its allies in the Middle East are seeking Ukraine’s expertise in countering Iran’s Shahed drones, president Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said.

Various countries, including the US, have approached Ukraine for help in defending against the Iranian drones, Zelenskyy said late on Wednesday. He said he has spoken in recent days to the leaders of the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain, Jordan and Kuwait about possible cooperation.

Ukrainian assistance in countering Iranian drones will be provided only if it does not weaken Ukraine’s own defences, the Ukrainian president said, and if it adds leverage to Kyiv’s diplomatic efforts to stop the Russian invasion.

      Ok, so you’re saying I’m pro-Russia because I critique Ukraine at all? And I’m somehow the one being accused of having a childlike perspective on this thread.

        You have been accused, not by me, to have child-like capacity for understanding.

          And yet, here you are, hurling insults without backing your claims up at all, like a goddamn coward.

            I’m explaining their insult. I didn’t call you child like in any sense. In thought it was clear.
