On April 13, Volodymyr Zelensky wrote Telegram that Ukrainian military expertise is in demand in the Middle East and the Persian Gulf countries. “At this stage, Ukraine is engaged in security talks with Saudi Arabia, the Emirates, Qatar, Jordan, Turkey, Syria, Oman, Kuwait, and Bahrain. There are requests regarding cooperation with Iraq,” Zelensky announced, adding that he had discussed the matter with National Security and Defense Council Secretary Rustem Umerov.
And the Middle East isn’t the only global hotspot where Ukraine is getting involved. “There is serious interest from African states. We are preparing the groundwork for deeper security agreements in Europe as well — we expect to achieve results as early as this week,” the Ukrainian president wrote. On April 14, a strategic agreement was signed with Germany.
