This was reported by Zelensky.

As of now, 201 Ukrainian military experts are in the Middle East, with another 34 ready to be deployed.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said this during an address to the British Parliament.

Zelensky noted that these are military experts who know how to defend themselves against Shahed-type drones.

"Our teams are already in the UAE, Qatar and Saudi Arabia, and are also heading to Kuwait. We are working with several other countries. Agreements have already been made. We do not want Iranian terror against its neighbors to succeed," the Ukrainian president said in a statement.
