The President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky revealed what assistance Kiev provides to countries in the Middle East against Iran's attacks, UNIAN reports.
In a speech to members of the British Parliament, Zelensky announced that 201 Ukrainian specialists are in the UAE, Qatar and Saudi Arabia, and another 34 are also preparing to leave and help counter the attacks with strike drones from Tehran.
Zelensky also said that his country is constantly developing its capabilities to neutralize massive air attacks with drones, for which expensive missiles should not be used.
In his speech, the Ukrainian president also emphasized the development of maritime drone systems that can operate even in the ocean and are difficult to neutralize. "We did not have a powerful navy, like Great Britain, for example, but we managed to push the Russian fleet to a remote base in the Black Sea, where the ships hide from our naval drones", Zelensky stressed.
According to him, Ukrainian specialists could help protect the naval base in Cyprus by deploying anti-drone systems and acoustic equipment for early detection of threats. "This is strengthening the protection that we offer to all of Europe", Zelensky added.
