Donald Trump: US military does not need Ukrainian help against Iranian drones  - 1

United States President Donald Trump has rejected Ukraine's offer to help the Pentagon strengthen its defenses against attacks by Iranian drones.

Donald Trump made these comments in an interview with "Fox News Radio".

Host Brian Kilmeade asked the president if Ukraine was helping the United States defend against drones.

"No, we don't need their help defending against drones. We know more about drones than anyone else. In fact, we have the best drones in the world," the US president said.

As reported, a Ukrainian delegation, which included military representatives and the Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council Rustem Umerov, left for the Persian Gulf region on March 10 to help protect human lives and stabilize the situation amid escalating tensions following Iran's strikes.

President Volodymyr Zelensky also said that Ukraine had received six requests from Middle Eastern countries for assistance in the conflict with Iran.

At the same time, he expects the Ukrainian delegation to return from the Persian Gulf region to determine the scale of assistance these countries need.
