March 7 (Reuters) - ‌Ukrainian President ​Volodymyr ​Zelenskiy said on Saturday he had spoken to ‌Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman ⁠about the situation in Iran and ‌the Middle East ‌and restated Kyiv's offer to help deal with Iranian drones.

"Ukraine has ​been fighting against (Iranian-designed) 'Shaheds' for years, and everyone acknowledges that ⁠no other country in the world has such ​experience," Zelenskiy said on Telegram of his conversation.

"We are ready ​to help and ‌expect that our people will also receive the necessary ⁠support."

Zelenskiy said earlier this week he had spoken to the leaders ⁠of Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait, Qatar and the ​United Arab Emirates.

Zelenskiy has also said Ukraine, which has faced regular attacks by ‌Shaheds in the four-year-old war with Russia, would ‌help the United States by ⁠providing specialists to ‌counter the ​weapons.
