Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky made a surprise visit to Saudi Arabia on Thursday amid a wider effort to lend Ukraine’s drone defense expertise to the U.S. and Gulf States.
Zelensky had offered his country’s expertise in defense against kamikaze drone attacks, cultivated in its grinding war against Russia, just days after the war began. These promised personnel arrived in the Middle East recently, with Zelensky saying last week that 201 personnel had been deployed, and another 34 were on their way.
Drones were at the top of the agenda of Zelensky’s visit. In a post on X, he stated that “important meetings” were scheduled and touted Ukraine’s support for the Gulf States.
“Ukraine’s contribution to security in the Middle East and the Gulf will also be a real contribution to global security,” he said. “This matters because energy security — and the cost of living, particularly in Europe — depends on their oil, gas and other resources, and stable global markets.
“The key is not only producing new weapons — especially drones — not just technology, but also real experience in using it, and integrating it with radars, aviation, and other air defense systems,” Zelensky said. “We have this experience.”
Speaking last week, the Ukrainian president said his country’s anti-drone experts were already deployed to the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia and would soon be in Kuwait. The four have been the worst hit by Iran’s drones in the current war.

Zelenski’s “cards” come from his peoples will to resist the Russian invasion. No one, especially the Russians, expected it. It exists. Ukraine would not exist as a nation without it.
American and European aid would not have come without it.
The Biden administration offered Zelenski asylum at the start of the war. He could be living pretty in Miami or just about anywhere in the world. He chose to stay and fight.
Some have no shame in spreading Russian disinformation, in fact they are proud of carrying water for Putin.
As far as those countries fighting for their freedom after being invaded by Russia. Well, that's easy they are responsible for the war by not surrendering.
I keep forgetting the Free Republic Commandment - That anyone who questions Saint Zelensky is in favor of Putin - no exceptions. Zelensky is always right - those who question him are spreading Russian Disinformation.
Thanks for the reminder...
Just that you talk in terms of their current president rather than as the nation, is revealing, Russia is invading Ukraine, a nation that we and most of the world is supporting against Russia and North Korea and the aid they get from Iran and China.
Russia is the enemy of the United States and the United States is helping Ukraine and has since even before Trump had troops in Ukraine training and arming them, our allies and friends in the world are helping our side in the war because Russia is an enemy of us all, in fact they are supplying Iran even as our GIs are in combat with them.
Sad that you are so hung up on Zelenski. See you got your marching orders from your Holy Trinity of Tucker, Kelly and Candy.
You are blind to the fact that the people of Ukraine are fighting for their freedom. Totally insane for some Freepers to be against Freedom.
You are so Anti-Zelenski / Ukraine that the enemy of Ukraine, Putin, is your bestie. I bet you giggle like a schoolgirl every time Putin murders a family in their home. While you hide behind the skirt of “questioning Zelenski”. You make me sick.
He appears to be HELPING...at least we are getting something from our investments for a change.
