“We ​are ready to help and expect that ‌our ⁠people will also receive the necessary support.”

Zelenskiy said earlier this week he had spoken to the leaders ​of Bahrain, ​Jordan, ⁠Kuwait, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates.

Zelenskiy has also ​said Ukraine, which has faced ​regular ⁠attacks by Shaheds in the four-year-old war with Russia, would help ⁠the ​United States by providing ​specialists to counter the weapons.
