President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy met with President of the United Arab Emirates Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan in Abu Dhabi.
"Thank you for the meeting and willingness to work together. We agreed to cooperate in the field of security and defense. The teams are finalizing the details," Zelenskyy wrote in a Telegram message on Saturday.
Zelenskyy noted that Ukraine is open to joint work, which in the strategic perspective will "strengthen our peoples and the protection of life in our states."
"That is why it is important to use the capabilities of both states to enhance protection, including through investments, joint production, and the appropriate modernization of protection systems for critical and social infrastructure," the message of the press service of the President of Ukraine says.
The leaders talked about the security situation in the UAE and the region and strikes from Iran, as well as the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz and its impact on the global oil market.
"Ukrainians have developed an appropriate protection system that delivers a significant interception rate against enemy drones and missiles. This systematic approach and integration of experience is exactly what we are offering to our partners," the President of Ukraine said.
As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, the day before, Zelenskyy visited Saudi Arabia, where a document on defense cooperation was signed.
