Ukrainian forces shot down Shahed drones in Mideast amid Iran war, Zelensky says
Ukrainian forces have shot down Iranian-designed Shahed drones in multiple Middle Eastern countries, according to President Volodymyr Zelensky. The operations were part of a broader effort to help partners counter the same weapons used by Russia in Ukraine, in exchange for weapons, fuel, and money.
Ukrainian military personnel shot down Shahed drones in the Middle East. They used domestically produced interceptor drones to defend several countries. In return, Ukraine received weapons, oil, diesel, and financial support. The partnerships aim to strengthen Ukraine's air defense systems and energy stability. Ukraine faces growing pressure as conflict in the Middle East diverts Western military support. The country expects Western allies to restore full sanctions on Russian oil to prevent Moscow from sustaining its war effort.
