Media Miss by the right: Zelenskyy offers help stopping Iranian drones in return for truce
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy states that Ukraine is willing to assist the U.S., Israel, and other Middle Eastern allies in defending against Iranian Shahed drones — but for a price.
Russia has used the drones extensively in its war against Ukraine.
Zelenskyy said he’ll share what he knows about how to defend against them if Russia agrees to a month-long ceasefire. So far, Moscow has rejected any ceasefire proposal.
