The head of Iran’s parliamentary committee on national security and foreign policy said that by providing drone support to Israel, Ukraine has “effectively become involved in the war.”

Zelenskyy earlier stated that Kyiv has already deployed interceptor drones and a team of specialists to help protect US military bases in Jordan.

Ukraine is benefitting by selling their drone interceptors and training. It's their best avenue to secure funding for their defense against the ongoing invasion. I've said it before and I'll say it again, Ukraine has no choice but to side with the US, lest they get cut off from weapon imports and intelligence. If Europe wants Ukraine to not side with the US, they need to do more to support Ukraine. But we all know that Europe won't meaningfully step up its support of Ukraine, so the only pathway left to Ukraine is to sell its interceptor tech to the orange in chief and the oil oligarchies.

The usa moved air defenses from ukraine and south korea to protect Israel and trump ease up the sanctions on Russia. Even an idiot like Trump know the son of the shah who loves seeing his people bombed by israel and the usa is unpopular yet zelensky meet him. Nothing of what Zelensky is doing make sny sense when Russia is not beaten yet and need all the defense systems he has

The US can't move air defense from Ukraine because the US has no air defense deployed in Ukraine. What the US did do is limit the amount of Patroit missiles Ukraine can buy to restock.
