You do realize Iran was supplying shahed drones for 4 years now? Ukraine was hit with almost 60000 of those drones, vast majority targeting civilian population in clear terrorist attacks. Iran was always a party to the russian war.
This behavior makes sense for Zelensky, who is strongly pro-Israel, but I don’t think this is in Ukraine’s best interest. I really hate how many people have died in the Russia-Ukraine war and this will only serve to lengthen it. Imagine getting drafted to go fight Iran.
Ukraine has unutilised domestic production capacity. They can turn the good money the Gulf states will be paying for the drones into more drones for the frontlines.
It got involved because it was Iran who supplied Shahed drones to Russia and Russia in turn supplies upgraded drones and other weapons to Iran. Pressure on Iran means to pressure on Russia and the reverse is also true.
Yeah, pretty sad situation especially if you have some empathy for those who don't want to fight but got tricked by their governments. Imagine you're 18 again and you have your plans to study in University, but instead the government which should serve the people (ha) sends you to die for a piece of land and to keep their leader positions.
In the end those wars are just a power and influence games for the ruling class.
Sometimes I think if the world would be better if instead of ~200 counties we had only ~10? But how to unite counties? People can agree to unite, but no one from the ruling class will agree to lose the power. So we are back to the war theme, because the war is the easiest way to unite pieces of land, but how to unite people? No idea, but... but we can find a new common enemy!
Sure.. why not andd another country to the war. Next thing you know the whole world is at war

Your comment seems unrelated to the article?
That Ukraine is taking frontline needed anti-drone resources to protect 3rd parties in a war it is not involved in?
What part of their comment seems unrelated?

It is the 430 people that could be defending Ukraine.
