According to him, during the visit, the Ukrainian side shared its own experience in protecting civilians and critical infrastructure in wartime conditions with its partners.
We shared our expertise on how to protect people, civilian infrastructure. The leaders of the Middle East are very grateful for this
He also emphasized that this is not just about individual solutions, but about long-term cooperation. According to the head of state, Ukraine is discussing the right model for opening the export of defense products, under which partners will receive not individual developments, but complex systems.

These agreements are for at least 10 years with each of the countries with which we are negotiating today

We are also talking about energy support from the leaders of the Gulf countries. And we are not only counting on this, but we have agreements

Among the most interested are Germany, Great Britain, the USA, Northern European countries, three Middle Eastern countries, and one Asian country.
