"We are not joining these strikes, but we will continue with our defensive actions in the region. And we will also bring experts from Ukraine, together with our own experts, to help Gulf partners shoot down Iranian drones attacking them."
"Russia fired more missiles in overnight attacks at Ukraine in February than in any other month since at least the beginning of 2023. Russia launched 288 missiles at Ukraine in February, an increase of about 113% compared to 135 missiles in January."
"It is important that the this chance for changes in Iran be used properly. The Iranian people were on their own for a long time, enduring violence while standing against the Iranian regime."
UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced that Ukrainian experts would assist Gulf allies in intercepting Iranian drones launched in response to US-Israeli strikes on Iran. The UK will not participate in these strikes but will continue defensive regional operations. Russia intensified missile attacks on Ukraine in February, launching 288 missiles—a 113% increase from January—primarily targeting energy infrastructure. Additionally, Russia deployed 5,059 long-range drones in February, a 13% increase from the previous month. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy stated that recent changes in Iran should benefit its people and noted that Iran's supply of attack drones to Russia has prolonged the conflict. Zelenskyy emphasized that over 57,000 Iranian-designed Shahed drones have been fired at Ukraine throughout the war.
