【Zelenskyy holds a supreme command meeting to discuss supporting allies against Iran】On March 9, Ukrainian President Zelenskyy chaired the Supreme Command Meeting, focusing on the regional turmoil that the Iran war may bring and its potential risks to global markets, neighboring countries, and Ukraine's allies. Ukraine pointed out that the situation in the Middle East and the Gulf directly affects Europe and Ukraine, as well as global key material supplies and the safety and well-being of people.
During the meeting, the secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, heads of various intelligence agencies, the State Security Service of Ukraine, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Minister of Defense reported on the situation. Attendees analyzed the main development trends of the Iran war and the possible consequences of the conflict being prolonged, and discussed security assistance requests from various countries, especially measures against "Shahed" drones and similar threats.
To date, 11 countries including Iran's neighbors, some European countries, and the United States have made requests to Ukraine, hoping to draw on Ukraine's experience in protecting lives, interception systems, electronic warfare, and training. Zelenskyy stated that he would respond positively to countries that support his national security and help protect people's lives. Some requests have already received specific responses and provided practical support.
The National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine stated that it will assess with the General Staff and defense forces which requests can be responded to actively, while ensuring that it does not weaken Ukraine's defense capabilities. Ukraine emphasized that the primary task is to prevent the Iranian regime from gaining an advantage in its confrontation with people who protect life, and called on all parties to work together to stabilize the regional situation and global markets.
In addition, Ukraine has long advocated updating and strengthening joint defense capabilities with partner countries, including establishing a drone and missile defense system, and destroying weapons production facilities of aggressive regimes. Ukraine pointed out that each "Shahed" drone production site has been identified, and there is a mutual support relationship between the Iranian and Russian regimes, with some drones using Russian components to attack Iran's neighbors.
Ukraine emphasized that the overall strength of the world is stronger than any force that destabilizes, and expressed hope that countries will take firm actions to assist in maintaining regional and global security. Zelenskyy #Iran
