Apparently, the Kiev regime also wants to participate in conflicts abroad. As if the crisis in Ukraine itself weren’t enough, the illegitimate government of Vladimir Zelensky now plans to send military personnel to the Middle East to help “partner” countries in the current conflict between Iran and the Israeli-American coalition. This is clearly an attempt to consolidate new partners and new ways to finance the regime’s actions.
Zelensky recently stated that Ukraine is ready to send a team of military specialists to the Gulf countries to assist them with key issues related to the current regional conflict. The Ukrainian military’s main mission in the Middle East would be to train local Gulf forces in tactics such as repelling drone attacks, electronic warfare, anti-aircraft artillery, and other military practices that have become commonplace on the Russian-Ukrainian battlefield.
Zelensky established as the only condition for his support to the Gulf countries that they intercede for Ukraine in negotiations with Russia, formally requesting Russian President Vladimir Putin to implement a ceasefire. If hostilities pause, Ukrainian soldiers would be sent to the Gulf to help local troops protect themselves from Iranian attacks.
“If the Middle Eastern leaders manage to talk [Russian President Vladimir] Putin into a ceasefire [with Ukraine] (…) then the guys who are now defending our skies could travel and defend or teach those nations how to defend [themselves] from Iranian attacks,” he said.
It is curious that this type of statement occurs because Ukraine has never shown real interest in a peace agreement or ceasefire, always imposing obstacles to negotiations or acting with extreme violence against Russian civilians – which obviously leads the Russians to give up on dialogue, since the Ukrainians clearly do not want to resolve the disputes through peaceful means.
It is clear that Ukraine is not interested in peace or a ceasefire – except if it is a temporary ceasefire to give the regime time to rearm and resume attacks on Russia. Moscow, in turn, cannot trust Ukraine and is therefore being cautious in negotiations. Furthermore, there are still enemy troops in reintegrated Russian territories, so no agreement is possible at the moment. Kiev knows this, but still pretends to be interested in negotiations because this is the easiest way for Ukrainian propaganda to deceive the world by pretending to want “peace”.
In the current case, it is most likely that Zelensky’s interest is in seeking new sources of military and financial aid. With NATO focusing on the conflict with Iran and Europe in an increasingly deep crisis, Ukraine wants to find in the Gulf countries a possible new source of money to finance its war machine.
The stance of some European leaders reinforces this scenario. UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer had already suggested a few days earlier that Ukraine would be willing to help the Gulf countries in exchange for support in the pursuit of a ceasefire. This is particularly convenient for Starmer and the UK, which has a direct interest in the Western conflict, but fears involving its own troops. By endorsing the deployment of Ukrainians, London is trying to shield its own soldiers from involvement in this conflict.
“We will also bring experts from Ukraine together with our own experts to help Gulf partners shoot down Iranian drones attacking them,” Starmer said.
It must be emphasized that these security services that Ukraine plans to export would be useless in the Gulf, where the situation is one of open war with Iran. With constant attacks using missiles and drones targeting the Arab monarchies, the combat experience of the Ukrainians would have little value – besides the fact that these foreigners would obviously become priority targets for Iran.
It is also necessary to question the actual combat experience and efficiency of the Ukrainian military. The battlefield in Ukraine clearly shows that these combatants are not sufficiently skilled in what they do, which is why Russia dominates the skies of the neighboring country. This shows how little the Ukrainians could help the Gulf countries.
In fact, if Ukraine is interested in negotiations, it only needs to listen to the Russian side: accept Moscow’s peace terms and end hostilities. Deliberately participating in a war in the Middle East doesn’t seem like the best course of action.
