Ukrainian president orders equipment and expertise to be provided to US in return to diplomatic support against Russia, saying ‘we help to defend from war those who help us’
The United States and its allies in the Middle East are seeking Ukraine’s expertise in countering Iran’s Shahed drones, president Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said.
Various countries, including the US, have approached Ukraine for help in defending against the Iranian drones, Zelenskyy said late on Wednesday. He said he has spoken in recent days to the leaders of the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain, Jordan and Kuwait about possible cooperation.
Ukrainian assistance in countering Iranian drones will be provided only if it does not weaken Ukraine’s own defences, the Ukrainian president said, and if it adds leverage to Kyiv’s diplomatic efforts to stop the Russian invasion.



I made a very substantive point. Let me substantiate it for you.
Your thoughts on this subject show a very limited, and linear juvenile understanding.
There is not much I can offer to you, because this is not an ELI5 conversation and you have already demonstrated that nuance would be lost on you.
I’m going to assume that you believe that launching unprovoked wars, bombing kids, and genociding are really bad. The point that you made was that, while those are really bad, providing defense for the perpetrators of those really bad things, while they actively do them, is somehow okay. I dare you to explain how that can be the case.
You imbecile, you absolute dolt. When Russia launches an illegal unprovoked full-scale war against it’s neighbour, it’s simple (putin is bad). When America does it, it’s very complicated and nuanced, and who’s to say if war isn’t actually very good in this case? You get to criticize the war in 10 years or so, once everyone decides they they were actually against it.
Sure, I agree the kids in Iran did not deserve that. Their leader? He was a bad dude, I won’t cry over him. The U.S soldiers who died? Yea that fucking blows.
Countries backing up the U.S/Israel war machine? Sure, f.u.b.a.r.
But ya know who I can’t be mad at for trying to work a favor out of America, one of the biggest goddamn war machines known to man… Ukraine.
You are mad they are stuck in a world where the most powerful militaries in the world are controlled by evil men. China is hard for Taiwan. America is compromised by Russia. And Russia wants to rape Ukraine out of existence.
I mean, if you were the leader of Ukraine, what would you do? You’re so wise. You obviously have an answer?
How would you stop a military that doesn’t care for it soldiers or people? That will throw them at you and your people without a second thought?
All the Ukrainian kids the Russians have taken? How would you stop em? Least we forget how savage the Russians are. I’m pretty sure not all the kids are taken back to Russia. They’re probably raped and left in a hole. So please tell me. If you were the leader of Ukraine what the fuck would you do.
So tired of people like you. You can’t think beyond your own eyeballs. The way you speak shows you have the mental fortitude of a wiffle ball bat. Go find a Russian site to lick boots on.
Don’t waste your time. When they are already in favor of the attacker, anything the victim does will seem immoral.
Hopefully the next time a missile hits an AI data center most of those accounts will go offline.
Are you implying that I’m in favor of Russia, or are you implying that the US is somehow a victim?
US the victim? What are you blabbering? Ukraine is.
Ok, so you’re saying I’m pro-Russia because I critique Ukraine at all? And I’m somehow the one being accused of having a childlike perspective on this thread.
You have been accused, not by me, to have child-like capacity for understanding.
All evidence points to me being correct.
And yet, here you are, hurling insults without backing your claims up at all, like a goddamn coward.
No. implying you’re at worst a schill, or at best an idiot.
Well, at least I’m advocating for a point of view instead of just making a shallow assertion, then backing it up by name calling, you fucking pussy (see, that’s just me relating to you on your level).
You’re not advocating a point of view, you’re parroting propaganda.
Also, your insult doesn’t relate to me on my level. It was just vulgar. But I can’t expect something witty from someone half armed.
BTW, that was an insult.
Yes, I am insulting you because you keep chirping without saying anything that contributes to the discourse. You must be very unsure about your perspective.
Y’all are so gross. You seem to have a worldview that believes that anyone who has been a victim at some point gets a kind of hall pass to do awful things. Honestly, you sound like the people that say that Israel gets one free genocide because of the holocaust. It’s your kind of moral relativism that opens to door to monsters like Russia, the US and Israel.
What a childlike point of view.
A child just keeps asserting things without substantiating them. If you disagree, that’s fine. But make a point or shut the fuck up you goddamn pussy.
I believe I made the point that you have the mental capacity of a child. And every response you have made supports that.
I really hope you are a child, because then you’ll grow up some day.
