Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky said there are areas where Ukraine and Saudi Arabia can strengthen each other’s ability to protect lives and people.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated on Monday that he discussed a drone deal and food security matters with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman during a call. Zelensky shared these updates on his social media platform X, emphasizing the potential for Ukraine and Saudi Arabia to enhance each other's capabilities to safeguard lives and people.
In a subsequent televised address, Zelensky elaborated on the progress, indicating that a team of Ukrainian officials is currently in the region, and highlighting areas where the relationship is advancing positively.
