Ukrainian military personnel shot down Iranian-designed Shahed drones in multiple Middle Eastern countries during the Iran war, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said, describing the operations as part of a broader effort to help partners counter the same weapons used by Russia in Ukraine.
Zelenskyy made his first public acknowledgment of the operations Wednesday in remarks to reporters that were embargoed until Friday. He said Ukrainian forces took part in active operations abroad using domestically produced interceptor drones proven in countering Iranian-designed Shahed drones used by Russia in Ukraine.
“This was not about a training mission or exercises, but about support in building a modern air defence system that can actually work,” Zelenskyy said.

I mean Ukraine has no business fucking around in the middle east war tbh
Ukraine has no business defending against the same drones Iran used to bomb Ukranian cities during Russia invasion of Ukraine?
Maybe I am missing something here. Does not look like Ukraine is part of the aggressor here.
Iran did not bomb Ukraine.
Russia did use Iranian drones.
If both statement are the same to you then every country that sells weapons to israel is a legitimate target for resistance movement ( like the EU )
It is called mutual help, which, Ukraine is now forced to provide because of help that was offered to it before. Otherwise it will look like a dipshit country that only can receive help but not give it.
Or some would say that the Ukraine regime is a puppet of western imperialism as it is directly supporting an illegal war by the US (and its dogs) on my region
