We are now preparing the European part of our security proposals, which were presented and accepted at negotiations in the Middle East and Gulf countries in recent weeks. They are now at war, unfortunately. Their protection required urgent expertise, urgent response. We provided it – Ukrainian expertise worked, everyone recognizes that. As a result, there are long-term agreements on cooperation, specifically on security cooperation. The same is needed in Europe.

Ukrainian military personnel are participating in consultations on how the Strait of Hormuz will operate in the future. Safe navigation is a global value, we know this from the experience of protection in the Black Sea. It is necessary that everyone in the world also appreciates this. Of course, the situation can change significantly every day, especially given what is happening with Iran and in relations between Europe and America. But our long-term interests are those of everyone in Europe, primarily security interests. Our diplomats also have a corresponding request from Asian countries, I have instructed to promptly work through all this. There will be contacts with leaders, and work at the level of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and at the level of other ministries. The main thing is that we constantly provide Ukraine with real opportunities for defense.
