Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was given the red carpet treatment in Damascus last weekend as his diplomatic tour of the Middle East continued. The Ukrainian leader has also recently visited a host of Gulf states to discuss deepening security cooperation as countries across the region seek to access Ukraine’s unrivaled expertise in drone warfare.
Since the start of the US-Israeli war against Iran just over a month ago, Gulf leaders have turned to Kyiv as they look to address the threat posed by Iranian drones. By the middle of March, Ukraine had already reportedly deployed teams of specialists to five Middle Eastern countries to strengthen air defenses. Zelenskyy then arrived in person to ink a series of long-term security partnerships with Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates. These unprecedented agreements have highlighted wartime Ukraine’s remarkable transformation from aid recipient to security provider.

Ukraine lets firms test air defenses in battle
AFP, KYIV
Facing daily barrages of Russian drones and missiles, Ukraine has invited private companies to get their own air-defense systems in a bid to ease the burden on its military.
A senior Ukrainian military official said the plan — involving state authorization and integration into the air force coordination system — has already attracted more than a dozen companies.
The goal is to give businesses “the possibility, at their own expense and with their own employees, to protect themselves against aerial threats,” said Yuriy Myronenko, 48, inspector general at the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense and the main architect of the project.

Promised in 2023. Grounded in Belgium. Norway’s F-16s still haven’t reached Ukraine.
A Western advisor says the jets were urgently needed this winter – and could have saved lives.
Norway pledged to supply six F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine in 2023, but none have entered service, with all aircraft still undergoing preparation in Belgium more than 2 years later, according to a report by NRK.
The delays highlight a broader pattern affecting Western military aid to Ukraine: while pledges are often announced quickly, delivery timelines depend on complex logistics, refurbishment, and coordination among donor states. In the case of F-16s, the challenge is particularly acute, as many donated aircraft require extensive overhaul before they can be deployed in combat conditions.

Ukraine’s military said it carried out a long-range strike on Russian offshore energy infrastructure in the Caspian Sea overnight on 10 April, targeting facilities far beyond the active combat zone.
Ukraine has increasingly targeted Russia’s energy infrastructure in recent years – including refineries, storage sites, and export-linked facilities – aiming to disrupt fuel supplies to the military and impose economic costs for the ongoing invasion
