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.
