Ukraine has some of the world’s best expertise on intercepting Iranian drones — and now wants to capitalize on it.
Donald Trump’s attack on Iran reveals that Ukraine does have some cards to play, after all.
The U.S. president lambasted Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy last year in the White House, telling him: “You don’t have the cards right now.” One year on, Ukraine is holding talks with polite American officials in Kyiv keen to get a look-in on Ukraine’s world-leading anti-drone technology.
“Partners are turning to us, to Ukraine, for help,” Zelenskyy said on Wednesday night. “Requests on this matter have also come from the American side.”
Zelenskyy said he was also talking to Arab nations seeking to upgrade defenses against Iran, such as the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Jordan and Bahrain. He was clear that Kyiv was seeking to gain strategic leverage from the talks. ___
No, Trump will strong arm him into giving the tech or he will attack Ukraine too. He’s already at war with what 5-6 countries now?
Attack Ukraine? I think skipping his monthly check/military support is enough, lol. Ukraine can’t say no to America, they’re entirely dependent on them.
You’re out of date by 18 months. America doesn’t give Ukraine anything anymore.

Ever since Trump has been in power, Trump has not given any weapons to Ukraine. Europe, does however, buy weapons from the US and gives them to Ukraine. There is no ‘monthly check/military support’ for the US to skip, not for the last year.
UA has to buy weapons, they aren’t given. US doesn’t give much of anything, it’s Europe that does.
