Ukrainian soldiers have helped to repel attacks by Iranian drones on Gulf states during the war with Iran, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Friday.
"Did we destroy Iranian 'shaheds?' Yes, we did. Did we do it in just one country? No, in several. And in my view, this is a success," Zelenskyy wrote on X, quoting remarks he made in a conversation with journalists.
Ukrainian military experts were deployed to the Middle East amid the Iran war. Kiev has also shown several countries how to operate drone interception systems.
Russia has been waging a full-scale invasion of Ukraine for more than four years and has extensively used Shahed drones, which are of Iranian design.
In response to U.S.-Israeli airstrikes, Iran has also launched such drones against neighboring Gulf states.
