Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has been touring Gulf countries under attack from Iran, signing defense and security deals with Ukraine’s innovative military prowess. He aims to portray Ukraine as a global partner against common enemies like Iran and Russia.
Gulf nations, including the UAE and Saudi Arabia, have been hosting diplomatic talks and exchanging prisoners between Ukrainian and Russian forces. However, they have avoided sanctioning or isolating Russia due to its significant energy role globally.
Zelensky’s efforts are crucial for Ukraine, which continues to resist Russia’s invasion in its fifth year. Meanwhile, US President Trump is pushing for a quick end to the war.
