Zelensky: Ukraine receives 11 requests for security support from Iran’s neighbors and partners

This was announced by President Volodymyr Zelensky on Telegram following the results of the meeting, Ukrinform reports.

"There were reports from the Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council, the heads of intelligence, the Security Service of Ukraine, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, and the Minister of Defense. We analyzed the main prospects of this war in Iran and the possible consequences of its prolongation. We also considered in detail the requests of states for security support from our side in countering the Shaheds and other similar challenges. As of now, there are 11 requests from countries – Iran's neighbors, European states, and America. There is clear interest in Ukraine's experience in protecting life, relevant interceptors, electronic warfare systems, and training. Ukraine is ready to respond positively to requests from those who help us protect the lives of Ukrainians and the independence of Ukraine. We have already responded to some of the requests with specific decisions and concrete support," he wrote.

Zelensky noted that the National Security and Defense Council, together with the General Staff and the Defense Forces, will determine which other requests can be responded to positively without compromising Ukraine's own defense capabilities.

“Ukraine's priority is clear: the Iranian regime must not gain any advantage over the defenders of life, and we must all work together to achieve tangible stabilization both in the region and in global markets,” he stressed.

The President reported that the meeting discussed the destabilization caused by the war in Iran and the corresponding risks for global markets, countries in the region, and Ukraine's closest partners who provide support in defending against Russian aggression. He noted that events in the Middle East and the Gulf region directly affect Europe, including Ukraine, other parts of the world, critical supplies to Ukraine, and the security and well-being of our people.

At the same time, the head of state noted that Ukraine has long been offering its partners to renew and strengthen joint capabilities to protect life.

“We talked about joint protection against drones and missiles, and about destroying the relevant production facilities of the aggressor regimes – the production of weapons that are currently being used in strikes. Each of these regimes has set itself against the world, and responses to this are needed. Every production site of the ”Shahed" is known. The Iranian and Russian regimes support each other, and there is more and more information, in particular, about Russian components in “Shahed” drones that strike Iran's neighbors," he said.

The president added that the world is definitely stronger than anyone who tries to destabilize it. He expressed hope that partners will be decisive enough.

As reported by Ukrinform, Ukraine has sent interceptor drones and a team of experts to protect US military bases in Jordan.
