U.S. Asks Kyiv for Help Against Iranian Drones
The United States has requested assistance from Ukraine to help defend Gulf allies against Iranian drones, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky revealed.
Speaking on Thursday, Zelensky said Washington had asked Kyiv to provide expertise and resources to counter the growing drone threat in the Middle East. He confirmed that Ukrainian specialists would be deployed to support U.S. partners, while stressing that such cooperation would not undermine Ukraine’s own defense against Russia.
“It is clear that any assistance we provide will only be given if it does not weaken our defense in Ukraine,” Zelensky stated. “This cooperation must serve as an investment in our diplomatic capabilities: we help protect those who help Ukraine achieve a dignified end to the war.”
Trump Pressures Zelensky on Peace Talks
Meanwhile, U.S. President Donald Trump reiterated his push for a negotiated settlement to the war in Ukraine. In an interview with Politico, Trump said Russian President Vladimir Putin was “ready to make a deal” and urged Zelensky to act.
“Zelensky has to move and reach an agreement,” Trump said, adding that it would be “unimaginable” for the Ukrainian leader to stand in the way of peace.
Since returning to the White House, Trump has repeatedly positioned himself as a mediator in the conflict, while blaming Zelensky for delaying progress toward a resolution.
