Iran's strikes on Gulf states threaten global stability – Zelensky

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has expressed concern over strikes by remnants of the Iranian regime against Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and other nations, warning that they pose a threat to global stability and European energy security.

According to Ukrinform, the head of state said this in his nightly video address published on Telegram.

"The strikes by remnants of the Iranian regime against Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the Emirates, and other countries are, in fact, strikes against global stability and against European energy security," he said.

Zelensky stressed that Ukraine is ready to join joint security initiatives to stabilize the situation as quickly as possible.

"Ukraine has long been proposing the creation of realistic and effective tools to put those who block maritime trade routes, who destroy – simply destroy – normal navigation, and who destroy energy infrastructure in their place," he said.

According to Zelensky, Ukraine has already endured a winter under Russian attacks, while now the Middle East and the Gulf region are facing similar threats. In particular, Russia and the Iranian regime are not coincidentally supporting each other in destabilization efforts.

"They must be stopped, and it is the responsibility of every leader to ensure real stability and guarantee security. Together, we are undoubtedly stronger," Zelensky concluded.
