Presidente da Ucrânia visita países do Golfo e fecha acordos de cooperação de defesa militar

Presidente da Ucrânia visita países do Golfo e fecha acordos de cooperação de defesa militar Reprodução/Jornal Nacional A guerra no Oriente Médio levou o presidente da Ucrânia, Volodymyr Zelensky, a visitar a região do Golfo. Em dois dias, ele fechou acordos de cooperação em defesa militar com Emirados Árabes Unidos, Catar e Arábia Saudita, além de se encontrar com militares ucranianos que estão levando tecnologia de drones aos países da região. Os acordos evidenciam como os dois conflitos — na Ucrânia e no Oriente Médio — estão interligados. Após quatro anos de bombardeios russos, a Ucrânia desenvolveu tecnologias para neutralizar ataques com drones, que agora despertam interesse no Golfo. Em cenários recentes, ataques com enxames de drones, como os utilizados pelo Irã, têm sido respondidos com sistemas avançados de defesa aérea. Países aliados recorrem a mísseis de alto custo, como os sistemas Patriot e THAAD, que podem custar milhões de dólares por unidade. Já os drones usados nesses ataques têm custo estimado em cerca de US$ 50 mil. A disparidade de custos levanta preocupações sobre sustentabilidade. Os Estados Unidos produzem cerca de 65 mísseis Patriot por mês, mas, apenas nos primeiros dias de confronto, mais de 800 teriam sido utilizados. Ao mesmo tempo, a produção de drones de baixo custo segue em ritmo elevado. Segundo Orysia Lutsevych, especialista em segurança internacional da Chatham House, os dois conflitos estão conectados de duas formas: pelo impacto no preço do petróleo, que pode beneficiar a Rússia, e pela corrida tecnológica militar. Na prática, a prioridade dos Estados Unidos e de seus aliados tem sido o Oriente Médio, o que afeta diretamente a Ucrânia. Cada míssil utilizado na região deixa de estar disponível para a defesa ucraniana contra ataques russos. O próprio Zelensky já alertou que os estoques estão no limite. A resposta, no entanto, pode vir da própria Ucrânia. O país desenvolveu drones interceptadores — chamados de “drones-caçadores” — projetados para destruir drones inimigos no ar. Equipados com explosivos, eles podem atingir velocidades de até 300 km/h e operar em um raio de aproximadamente 40 quilômetros. Esses equipamentos custam cerca de US$ 2 mil cada, tornando-se uma alternativa muito mais barata em comparação com os mísseis tradicionais. Engenheiros envolvidos no projeto destacam a eficiência da tecnologia, desenvolvida inicialmente para neutralizar drones iranianos utilizados pela Rússia no campo de batalha ucraniano. A experiência acumulada transformou o front ucraniano em um laboratório de inovação militar, agora exportada para o Golfo. Segundo Zelensky, a Ucrânia já produz cerca de 2 mil desses drones por dia e enviou mais de 200 especialistas para treinar forças armadas da região. Como resumiu a analista Orysia Lutsevych: “A Ucrânia, com toda a sua capacidade de engenharia, indústria e inovação, pode ser um ativo, e já é. O maior trunfo da Ucrânia hoje são esses engenheiros que sabem operar drones e sistemas antidrones na guerra moderna”. O cenário cria um paradoxo. Se, por um lado, a guerra no Oriente Médio reduz a atenção e os recursos destinados à Ucrânia, por outro abre espaço para que Kiev se torne fornecedora estratégica de tecnologia militar. Nesse contexto, o conflito no Golfo pode representar para Zelensky uma fonte adicional de recursos e influência — e um caminho para recolocar a guerra contra a Rússia no centro das atenções internacionais.

Ukraine war briefing: Zelenskyy drums up defence agreements with Gulf states on countering missiles and drones

Ukraine leader says signs with Qatar and Saudi Arabia, with one to come with the United Arab Emirates, as Iran presses aerial campaign against neighbours. What we know on day 1,495

Qatar and Ukraine signed a defence agreement on Saturday that included cooperation on countering threats from missiles and drones, the Gulf state’s government said, as Iran presses an aerial campaign against its neighbours. Earlier on Saturday, Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy – during a previously unannounced flurry of visits to Gulf nations – said his country and the United Arab Emirates had agreed to cooperate on defence, after Iran targeted countries in the area in retaliation for US-Israeli strikes. Ukraine also signed an air defence agreement with Saudi Arabia during Zelenskyy’s visit to the kingdom earlier this week.

“We are talking about a 10-year cooperation. We have already signed a relevant agreement with Saudi Arabia, we have just signed a similar agreement with Qatar, also for 10 years, we will sign one with the Emirates,” Zelenskyy told reporters at a briefing.

Ukraine has quickly grown into one of the world’s leading producers of cutting-edge, battle-tested drone interceptors that are cheap and effective. They are playing a key part in its defence against Russia’s full-scale invasion, which began on 24 February 2022.

In return for its aid to Gulf countries, Ukraine is seeking more high-end air-defence missiles that they possess and that Kyiv needs to counter Russia’s attacks. Last week Zelenskyy said that Ukraine was looking into whether it could play a role in restoring security in the strait of Hormuz.

Ukraine wants to build long-term ties with Middle Eastern countries, Zelenskyy said, including joint production, cooperation in the energy sector, investment and sharing battlefield experience. He spoke with journalists via Zoom during an official visit in Qatar, the latest in his tour in the region. “Simple sales do not interest us,” Zelenskyy said. “We want systemic relationships, where exporters earn revenue and Ukraine receives sufficient funds to invest in domestic production.”

Zelenskyy has sought to craft an opportunity from the war, which otherwise benefits Russia through higher oil prices and possible slowdowns in western arms supplies to Kyiv. Almost immediately, he started offering US allies in the region deals to get their hands on Ukrainian drone interceptors and has dispatched more than 200 military experts. “Surely no one else can help in this way today, with expertise,” he told reporters. “No one else possesses such experience.”

Russian air attacks across Ukraine early Saturday killed at least four people and damaged critical infrastructure, including a port and a maternity hospital, authorities said, as Russia pressed on with its war against Ukraine. Moscow has been firing drones at Ukraine in nightly barrages during its four-year invasion, with Kyiv accusing it of attacking residential areas and targeting civilians.

Iran claims it struck Ukraine-related drone warehouse in Dubai. Iran’s military joint command made the claim in a statement run by state media, without offering evidence. The Khatam al-Anbiya Headquarters said more than 20 Ukrainians were in the warehouse in the United Arab Emirates and their fate was unknown. In a news briefing, Ukraine’s foreign ministry spokesperson Heorhii Tykhyi, however, called the Iranian allegations a “lie,” according to Ukraine’s public broadcaster.

Ukraine’s military struck a major Russian oil refinery in Yaroslavl, north-east of Moscow, in an overnight attack, the Ukrainian General Staff said on Saturday. It said in a statement that the attack caused a fire at the site of the refinery, which is critical for the Russian army’s logistics.

Houthi forces enter Iran conflict with missile attacks on Israeli military sites

Escalation represents dangerous spread of war and brings threat of even more damage to the global economy

The US-Israeli war with Iran has expanded with the entry of Houthi forces in Yemen, representing a dangerous spread of the conflict and bringing with it the threat of more damage to the global economy.

Pakistan has said it would host a meeting of Middle Eastern powers on Monday in an effort to find a regional approach to ending the conflict. But the talks, which bring together the foreign ministers of Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Egypt, did not appear to include any of the warring parties, casting further doubt on persistent US claims of diplomatic progress.

In the year since Donald Trump retook office, the number of protests in the US outpaced those at the same point in his first administration, according to data from the Crowd Counting Consortium, an open-source project collaboration between Harvard University’s Kennedy School and the University of Connecticut, reported Lex McMenamin and Andrew Witherspoon.

There were more than 10,700 protests in 2025, a 133% increase from the 4,588 recorded in 2017, the first year of Trump’s first term. According to the data, an overwhelming majority of US counties – including 42% that voted for Trump – have had at least one protest since he was re-inaugurated last year.
