Every nation deserves security, and we are ready to promptly and effectively support those who support our state and independence,&#8221; Zelensky emphasized.<\/p>\n<p>Defense in the sky and at sea<\/p>\n<p>The president noted that this concerns protection against strike and other types of drones in the sky, as well as addressing security tasks at sea.<\/p>\n<p>He emphasized that Ukraine&#8217;s experience in the Black Sea &#8220;can be applied to other globally important maritime routes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;At this stage, Ukraine is in communication regarding security with Saudi Arabia, the Emirates, Qatar, Jordan, Turkey, Syria, Oman, Kuwait, and Bahrain.

He noted that these developments did not exist a year ago.<\/p>\n<p>It should be noted that at the end of March, Zelensky signed agreements with Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar for protection against Iranian drones. He reported that additional requests had also come from Bahrain and Oman.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With which countries is Ukraine in communication regarding security?
