Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky arrived in Saudi Arabia on Thursday for an unannounced visit, as the war in Iran spurs interest among Gulf countries in Ukrainian arms technology.
The two countries are set to sign an agreement on “security cooperation — in particular, the protection of the skies”, later on Thursday, a senior official told AFP, speaking on condition of anonymity.
They did not provide further details of what was set to be in the accord.
“Arrived in Saudi Arabia. Important meetings are scheduled,” Zelensky wrote on social media, publishing a video of him meeting a regional official in Jeddah.
“We appreciate the support and support those who are ready to work with us to ensure security,” Zelensky added.
