Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Saturday that his country and the United Arab Emirates have agreed to cooperate on defence amid Iran's drone strikes across the Gulf, before heading to regional neighbour Qatar.

Zelensky has embarked on the previously unannounced tour across the Gulf, visiting Saudi Arabia earlier this week, as the region faces Iranian drones launched by Tehran in retaliation for US-Israeli strikes.
