Russia is a major military partner for Iran, supplying Tehran with fighter jets as well as weapons for them, including missiles, leaked documents reveal. Their purpose is clear—to destroy enemy aircraft.

Ukraine’s goal is not simply to supply drones to the Middle East, but to build comprehensive defense systems—sharing with partner countries the expertise it has gained over four years of full-scale war. Relevant agreements are already being signed with the Gulf nations.

The defense ministries of Ukraine and Saudi Arabia have agreed on defense cooperation. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says Ukraine is ready to share its expertise and systems with Saudi Arabia and to work together to strengthen the protection of human life. 

For three straight days, Ukrainian drones flew over 1,000 kilometers into Russia and hit the same critical targets again and again, shutting down key oil export hubs along the Baltic Sea. 

Once favorable weather set in, Moscow ordered the start of its spring-summer offensive campaign. Russian expectations of a rapid breakthrough collapsed against Ukrainian defenses: massive personnel and equipment losses, mechanized columns destroyed, and the offensive stalled.

Ukraine does not have enough PAC-3 missiles to intercept Russian ballistic missiles, so the country has chosen a strategy it can implement under current conditions—destroying the very capability to launch those missiles.
