Participation in consultations on the strait
According to Zelensky, Ukrainian military officials are participating in discussions on how the Strait of Hormuz will function in the future. He emphasized that safe navigation is a global value, and Ukraine has relevant defense experience in the Black Sea.
“It is necessary for everyone in the world to appreciate this as well,” the president noted.
Exporting security expertise
Zelensky also mentioned that Ukraine is working on supplies with European partners and Middle Eastern countries. This is, in particular, part of a new cooperation: Ukraine exports security and receives what is necessary for internal confidence and energy security.
He pointed out that Middle Eastern countries currently at war urgently needed expertise and response.
“Ukrainian expertise has proven effective, and everyone acknowledges this. As a result, there are long-term agreements on security cooperation,” the president emphasized.
Plans regarding Europe and Asia
In the coming weeks, according to Zelensky, efforts will focus on working with European partners: joint production, defense modernization, funding programs, and coordinating security actions.
There is also a corresponding request from Asian countries, and the president instructed to address it promptly.
The main thing, he noted, is to continuously provide Ukraine with real opportunities for defense.
Recall that the day before, on April 6, Zelensky stated that Ukraine had sent Russia a proposal for an energy truce.
Also, on April 5, a trilateral meeting between Ukraine, Syria, and Turkey took place in Damascus, where defense cooperation and food security were discussed.
On the same day, the president reported that Russia had provided Iran with satellite intelligence on more than 50 civilian energy facilities in Israel.
These events are occurring against the backdrop of the ongoing six-week war between the U.S. and Israel with Iran. Iran has effectively closed the Strait of Hormuz to commercial shipping, leading to a record rise in oil prices.
