Israel has what we need [against Russia], and we have what Israel needs [against Iran], Ukrainian President Volodomyr Zelensky said.

Axar.az informs “We had a terrible experience with these drones,” Zelensky told The Jerusalem Post in a remote video interview on Monday, describing the years-long barrage Ukraine has faced. “We had 350 or 500 Iranian drones, Shaheds, each day, each day and night.”

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Russia helped Iran improve its Shahed drones after first using Ukraine as a testing ground for the weapons, warning that the same threat now facing Israel, Gulf states, and US forces had been honed through years of attacks on Ukrainian civilians.

Asked about possible contact with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Zelensky said the Israeli side had reached out about a potential conversation and that he was ready.

Asked what message he would give Netanyahu, Zelensky replied: “He has what I need and I have what he needs. So I’m ready for this dialogue.”
