The tense situation in the Middle East is also affecting the war in Ukraine. The US government has asked Kyiv for help in countering Iranian "Shahed" drones, which are being widely used by Russia. This situation could take military cooperation between the two countries to a new level. Reports semafor.com.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has asked the US to compensate for the shortage of "Patriot" missiles in exchange for this cooperation. According to Bloomberg, Kyiv is ready to provide its own experts and manuals on countering drones. Zelensky emphasized that this should be a mutually beneficial exchange.
Experts believe that the conflict in the Middle East could negatively affect the supply of ammunition needed by Ukraine. According to the EU Special Representative for Human Rights, Kajsa Ollongren, if the war drags on, it could weaken Ukraine's defense capabilities. In the current situation, competition for resources is intensifying.
The scale of the conflict is expanding. The US Embassy in Kuwait has temporarily suspended operations, and Israel has launched strikes on Beirut. The international community is concerned about the further complication of the situation in the Middle East.
