Ukrainian military personnel shot down Iranian-designed Shahed drones in multiple Middle Eastern countries during the Iran war, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said, describing the operations as part of a broader effort to help partners counter the same weapons used by Russia in Ukraine.

Zelenskyy made his first public acknowledgment of the operations Wednesday in remarks to reporters that were embargoed until Friday. He said Ukrainian forces took part in active operations abroad using domestically produced interceptor drones proven in countering Iranian-designed Shahed drones used by Russia in Ukraine.

“This was not about a training mission or exercises, but about support in building a modern air defence system that can actually work,” Zelenskyy said.

    BTW, the US aid didn’t stop since the Epstein class of senators did approve 600 mill plan of military aid for Ukraine in 2026.

    As of today 0 dollars are coming to Ukraine as the president has effectively stalled them

    Helping puppet states (like gulf monarchies) and interfering with other regions warfare just proves that this Ukraine regime is another puppet for western imperialism.

    Helping some independent states (not western) to defend themself is proof of western imperialism? Sure thing… you are making a lot of sense.

      Lol at you using the term “independent states”

      that really proves you know nothing about my region or its history if you think that puppet countries created by western supported monarchies are independent entities.

      Those puppet regimes you call independent cant even have a say when their land is being used by US occupation bases to bomb little girls schools in iran.

      You are missing the whole point, this Ukraine government is another western imperialist puppet that is clearly showing by its actions to interfere with a regional war while its land is being occupied by Russia.
