Zelensky in Qatar: Turning War Experience into a Strategic Asset

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky visited Qatar as part of his Gulf tour, aiming to turn his war experience into an exportable strategic asset. The goal of the visit is to offer regional countries cooperation in drone defense and open new channels of political, military, and energetic support for Ukraine. In Doha, Zelensky was not only seeking systems and fuel but also trying to find an interlocutor with regional and international influence, as the global situation becomes increasingly unstable. The conflict with Iran is causing Kyiv to fear that Western attention will shift from the Ukrainian front. Ukraine is already offering Arab countries technical assistance in intercepting drones and missiles, developing this capability under real fire for the past four years. Zelensky's Gulf tour is an attempt to reposition Ukraine on the global stage, presenting it not only as a victim but also as a useful security partner.
