Quote: “There are already agreements in place – landmark agreements: Ukraine and Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Qatar. We are also working with Jordan and Kuwait. Rustem Umierov [National Security and Defence Council Secretary] is currently in the region, continuing political-level negotiations – he reported to me today – and there are already additional requests from Bahrain and Oman.
For Ukraine, this is not only a matter of prestige and respect for our people; it is a very concrete and practical matter. We are exporting our system of protection, the skills of our warriors, the knowledge that our state possesses. And from these countries – from our partners – we expect reciprocal security engagement.”
Details: The president added that agreements also concern opportunities to strengthen air defence, jointly develop defence production and expand energy cooperation.

Ukraine has the potential to build a powerful defense industry based on drone warfare and serving not only itself, but also its allies and trade partners worldwide.
And as far as can be seen, drones are here to stay and have become a vital part of war, for offensive, defensive, and surveillance uses.
Not a bribe or loud mouthed statement in sight. This is how you make allies.
And no farts or a full diaper either.
