US asking Ukraine for help against Iran’s drones in Middle East, Zelensky says

Volodymyr Zelensky announced that the United States has requested Ukraine's assistance in countering Iranian drone attacks in the Middle East. This request comes as Ukraine has developed effective drone interceptors during Russia's invasion. Zelensky has offered US allies in the Middle East a swap of air defense missiles for these interceptors, which he believes would provide better protection against Iranian drones. Ukraine has been experiencing near-daily attacks from Iranian-designed drones launched by Russia, targeting civilian infrastructure. Zelensky has ordered expert support to be provided to the US in response to their request.
