More than 200 Ukrainian specialists are already in the Middle East to provide support in the fight against Iranian attack drones. Another three dozen experts can be deployed to the region if needed.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy made the statement during his address to the British Parliament.

According to him, Ukrainian teams are already working in the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Qatar. Another group of Ukrainian specialists is on its way to Kuwait.

"We are working with several other countries. Agreements have already been signed. We do not want the Iranian terror against our neighbors to succeed," the head of state said.

Zelenskyy noted that 201 Ukrainian specialists are currently working in the Persian Gulf countries. Another 34 are ready for deployment.

"We are ready to offer similar agreements to all our partners, from practical cooperation in the field of drones to future defense alliances," the President said.

As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, on March 5, President Zelenskyy said, that Ukraine has received a request from the United States for support in defending itself against the drone attacks that Iran is using to attack Middle Eastern countries.

Already on March 9, Zelenskyy said that Ukraine had received eleven requests from Middle Eastern countries for help in destroying Iranian drones.
