US President Donald Trump says that his country does not need Ukraine’s help in defending against drones, citing the Clash Report.
“We don’t need Ukraine’s help with drone defense,” the US president said.
Ukrainian experts headed to the Middle East
Last week, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that Ukrainian experts on Shahed drones would be working in the Middle East.
On March 9, the Ukrainian leader noted that experts, along with interceptor drones, had been sent to protect US bases in Jordan.
The Wall Street Journal reported recently that Saudi Arabia plans to make a large-scale purchase of Ukrainian interceptor drones. The contract could be worth millions of dollars.
