Mar 19, 2026

Kiev [Ukraine], March 19: More than 200 Ukrainian military experts are in the Gulf region and wider Middle East helping governments in their defence against Iran's drone attacks, Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky has said.
In an address to dozens of members of the United Kingdom Parliament in London on Tuesday, the Ukrainian leader said 201 Ukrainian anti-drone experts are in the region and another 34 "are ready to deploy".
"These are military experts, experts who know how to help, how to defend against Shahed drones," Zelensky said in his speech, referring to the Iranian-designed "kamikaze" drones that Russia has been using in its war against Ukraine since 2022.
"Our teams are already in the Emirates, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and on the way to Kuwait," the Ukrainian leader said.
"We are working with several other countries - agreements are already in place. We do not want this terror of the Iranian regime against its neighbours to succeed," he said.
