Gulf states look to Ukraine
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy signed 10-year defense agreements with Qatar and Saudi Arabia during his visit to the Gulf states from Thursday through Sunday. Zelenskyy said a similar defense agreement would also be finalized with the United Arab Emirates. The Gulf states hope to benefit from Ukraineā€™s drone warfare technology, while Ukraine seeks to boost its supply of air defense missiles. These agreements show that the Gulf states are looking to diversify their partnerships from the United States, as prophesied.
