Quite the Trump dismissal of Zelensky’s offers.
Now that a much bigger crisis is ongoing in the Middle East, the Ukrainian regime is trying to remain in the spotlight of the world’s media and in the thoughts of world leaders who have, for years, paid for its war effort.
But to do that and manage a losing war at once seems to be too much for Kiev regime leader Volodymyr Zelensky, who has reportedly become more and more aggressive in his criticism of Russia, the Europeans, and, of course, of the US.
As of late, unsurprisingly, Zelensky is decrying Donald J. Trump’s administration decision to temporarily lift sanctions on Russian oil ‘already at sea’.
At the same time that he is super cranky, the Ukrainian embattled leader has been trying to flatter Trump for his operation against Iran, and also offering help with his ‘drone defenses’ against the Iranian Shahed drones.
But the fact is: If their drone defenses were so good, they’d not be begging for Patriot missiles all the time, and also, they would not be in the dark because of Russian combined missile-drone attacks on almost all the power generation facilities.
[Q]: Are they [Ukraine] helping with drone defense?

Now, during an interview on Fox News, Trump made it clear that the U.S. does not need Ukraine’s assistance with the anti-drone defenses.
The Kyiv Independent reported:
“’No, we don’t need (Ukraine’s) help in drone defense’, Trump said in the interview. “We know more about drones than anybody. We have the best drones in the world, actually.”
The comments come as an unexpected rebuff of Kyiv’s offer to share its combat‑tested experience and technology for countering Iranian‑made strike drones with the U.S. and Middle Eastern countries.”

“More than 10 countries have already requested Kyiv’s aid, Zelensky said on March 13, after previously confirming that Ukrainian experts were also sent to Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates.
Already since last year, Ukraine has been offering to share its experience in drone technology — a vital weaponry on Ukrainian battlefields — with the U.S. in exchange for anti-missile defenses. The Trump administration reportedly dismissed the initial offer last August during Zelensky’s visit to the White House.”
