Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced the signing of three significant security agreements with Middle Eastern countries, including drone agreements with Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates.
He said, “These will translate into many different contracts with both the private and public sectors of Ukraine.”
On X, he wrote, “We are ready to deliver. First, our expertise. Second, training missions and software to integrate different military equipment into one system. And cheap drones and co-production lines to make them,” sharing excerpts from his interview with CNN.
He added, “A ‘shahed’ can cost between $80 and $130 thousand. They will destroy it using not a $3-4 million missile, but a $10,000 interceptor,” expressing the desire to help Gulf states defend themselves and continue building such partnerships with other countries.
“I think all of this needs to be shared with the U.S. as well. I would be proud if we could do it because we are very thankful to the U.S. for its support,” he said. (EIR)
