Ukraine's Zelensky arrives in Jordan for next leg of Gulf tour

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky arrived in Jordan on Sunday as part of a Gulf tour aimed at shoring up defense ties with countries in the region amid rising tensions over the Iran war.

Zelensky is seeking support from Gulf ⁠states for Ukraine's war against Russia as Western military aid faces fresh uncertainty and Kyiv struggles to cover its budget deficit and fund domestic weapons production.

"Today in Jordan. Security is the top priority, and it is important that all partners make the ⁠necessary efforts toward it," Zelensky wrote on X. "Ukraine is doing its part. Important meetings ahead."

Ukraine agreed on Saturday to cooperate on defense ⁠with the United Arab Emirates and Qatar after a visit to both countries by Zelensky, who ⁠also travelled to Saudi Arabia last week.

Kyiv has offered its air-defense expertise and ⁠drone technology to countries in the region seeking to counter Iran's drone attacks.
