Israel-US vs Iran War Live Updates: Zelenskyy Speaks With UAE President, Condemns Iran’s Strikes on Civilian Areas
Amid the escalating Israel-Iran conflict, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed that he and his team held talks with UAE President Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, expressing condolences for lives lost as a result of what he described as Iran’s strikes. The conversation comes as the broader Middle East war escalation continues to impact regional and global security dynamics.
In a post on X, Zelenskyy said the two leaders discussed key aspects of the evolving regional security crisis. According to him, the UAE president stated that the Iranian regime has been targeting not only military facilities but also civilian infrastructure, including residential buildings, shopping malls, and even mosques — raising serious concerns over civilian safety in conflict zones.
Zelenskyy added that both sides explored ways to respond to the growing humanitarian crisis triggered by the ongoing US-Iran-Israel geopolitical tensions. The leaders agreed to work together on initiatives aimed at strengthening protection of civilian lives and mitigating further damage amid intensifying hostilities.
“It was agreed that our teams will work on this,” Zelenskyy said, signaling potential diplomatic coordination between Ukraine and the United Arab Emirates as global leaders react to the expanding Middle East conflict.
