Zelenskiy Seeks Fuel Supply Deals During Middle East Tour

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said he’s using a Middle East trip to lock in lucrative long-term agreements on military cooperation and seek secure fuel supplies.

Ukraine signed 10-year defense agreements with Saudi Arabia and Qatar and plans to formalize a similar agreement with the United Arab Emirates, Zelenskiy told reporters on a call from Qatar on Saturday. The deals are worth “billions,” he said without elaborating.
