The United States and Middle Eastern nations are pursuing Kyiv's expertise in drone technology as discussions between Russia and Ukraine are currently stalled.

-

 

In early March 2026, President confirmed that the United States and several Middle Eastern allies have requested Ukraine's specialized expertise in countering Iranian-made Shahed drones.

Having defended against tens of thousands of these drones launched by Russia over the past four years, Ukraine has developed unique, low-cost strategies for neutralization.

Zelenskyy has engaged in recent discussions regarding drone defense cooperation with leaders from several regional partners: United Arab Emirates (UAE), Qatar, Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait.

Key Aspects of Ukraine’s Offer

On-Site Experts: Zelenskyy has instructed that Ukrainian specialists be deployed to the Middle East to provide real-time operational support.

Cost-Effective Interception: Ukraine intends to share its experience using electronic warfare and cheap interceptor drones (costing as little as $1,000) to down Shaheds, avoiding the use of expensive $4 million Patriot missiles.

Conditional Support: Zelenskyy emphasized that this assistance will only be provided if it does not weaken Ukraine's own front-line defenses.

Diplomatic Leverage: The offer is viewed as a strategic move to gain support from Gulf leaders, with Zelenskyy suggesting that those with ties to Moscow could help pressure Russia into a ceasefire.

The urgency of these requests follows a surge in regional tensions, including an Iranian drone strike on March 1, 2026, that killed six U.S. soldiers in Kuwait. Following these developments, President Trump expressed openness to the assistance, stating, "Certainly I'll take... any assistance from any country".

  White House   press secretary   Karoline Leavitt    on Wednesday has criticized  the media, Democrats, and likely some   Republicans   in the House and Senate for trying to “sow chaos” in the White House with their response to the   Signal   text chain debacle. Leavitt was asked by a reporter if she would definitively say that no one would be fired after a journalist was accidentally added to a Signal thread with top U.S. officials discussing military plans. Leavitt said, "What I can say definitively is what I just spoke to the president about, and he continues to have confidence in his  national security team ." Meanwhile, CNN's Collins attempted to ask the press secretary a follow-up question, but was quickly cut off by Leavitt, who called on another reporter in the room.

  President Trump signed an executive order targeting the ticket reselling industry during a signing ceremony from the White House. The new order will allow the Justice Department and Federal Trade Commission to go after the reselling industry, which has used computer bots and algorithms to buy large blocks of tickets and resell them at extremely higher prices.  Musician Kid Rock, who also appeared at the Republican National Convention last July, was present at the signing in the Oval Office.  The president also took several questions from the press, including on the possibility of additional sanctions on Russia, immigration, and tariffs. “I’ve spoken to him over the years about it and it bothers him,” Trump said about Kid Rock during the executive order’s signing. “It bothers a lot of other artists. They go out with a $100 ticket, and it sells for $2,000 the following night.” Trump admitted that he hadn’t known much about price gouging, “but I checked it out, and it is a...
