The Ukrainian leader made an official stop in Jordan on March 29, where he met with King Abdullah II. Talks are also ongoing with Jordan and Kuwait. During the visit, the president noted that Bahrain and Oman have expressed interest in cooperation.

Prospects for collaboration with international partners

Zelenskyy further indicated that work is planned with international partners on security guarantees for Ukraine. “We will also speak with Europe about our Ukrainian potential and the agreements reached in the Middle East and the Gulf, as well as about our joint European defense and production. There will be good results,” the president concluded. As a result, Volodymyr Zelenskyy's visit opens new avenues for Ukraine's cooperation with Middle Eastern countries in the fields of security and development.

This trip underscores Ukraine's growing role on the global stage, particularly in security matters. Engaging Middle Eastern nations in partnership could forge new alliances for Ukraine, which is crucial given current challenges. The willingness of these countries to collaborate, as highlighted by the president, signals potential for strengthening economic and security ties that may impact regional stability. It also creates opportunities for deeper integration of Ukraine into global security frameworks.
