201 Ukrainians now in Middle East helping counter Iranian drone attacks, Zelensky says

"Ukraine has deployed 201 specialists experienced in countering Iranian-made Shahed-type
attack drones to the Middle East and Gulf region, President Volodymyr
Zelensky announced.
Kyiv has developed extensive expertise in countering Iranian-made Shahed-type attack drones since Russia began using them widely in attacks on Ukrainian cities and infrastructure in 2022.
"Right now, there are 201 Ukrainians in the Middle East and Gulf region, and another 34 are ready to deploy," Zelensky said during an address to the British parliament. "These are military experts, experts who know how to help, how to defend against such drones." KI
