Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has arrived in Jordan as he continues his tour<\/a> to bolster defence ties in the Gulf amid the ongoing United States and Israeli war on Iran.<\/p>\n

Zelenskyy announced his arrival in a post on X on Sunday and stated that an \u201cimportant meeting\u201d was going to take place.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday in Jordan. Security is the top priority, and it is important that all partners make the necessary efforts toward it,\u201d Zelenskyy said.<\/p>\n

The Ukrainian president has been seeking support from the Gulf states as the Russia-Ukraine war continues, with no end in sight. More than four years since Russia launched a full-scale invasion, Kyiv is struggling to cover its budget deficit and fund domestic weapons production.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Still, Ukraine has intensified retaliatory attacks on Russian infrastructure, including refineries, oil depots and ports, arguing that they were justified targets to sever revenues funding Russia\u2019s offensive.<\/p>\n

On Sunday, a drone strike that Ukraine claimed triggered a fire at Russia\u2019s Baltic port of Ust-Luga, which was hit for the second time in several days.<\/p>\n

According to the Russian regional governor, Alexander Drozdenko, damage was sustained at the port, the fire is now under control, and there were no casualties from the attack.<\/p>\n

He added that 36 drones were destroyed overnight in the region.<\/p>\n

But Zelenskyy\u2019s visit comes after Ukraine has agreed to cooperate on defence with Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.<\/p>\n

Kyiv\u2019s anti-drone experts<\/a> have also been deployed to all three countries as Iran targets infrastructure there using drones that Russia has also used during its war with Ukraine.<\/p>\n

A senior Ukrainian official told the AFP news agency, on condition of anonymity, that a Ukrainian team is also in Jordan, without elaborating.<\/p>\n

In repelling the drones, Ukraine uses a mix of cheap drone interceptors, electronic jamming tools, and anti-aircraft guns.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Ukrainian leader\u2019s visit comes after Kyiv agreed to cooperate on defence with Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":364747,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[63,42,2286,47,43,2388,40,38,41,39,1594],"class_list":["post-364746","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-europe","tag-headlines","tag-jordan","tag-middle-east","tag-news","tag-russia-ukraine-war","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories","tag-ukraine"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/364746","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=364746"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/364746\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/364747"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=364746"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=364746"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=364746"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
