Dear Ukrainians, briefly about this day. Now our team, both the military and Rustam Yummer are on their way to the Gulf region where our guys can help protect lives and stabilize the situation. We see what challenges there are now because of the strikes from Iran because of this whole war which can drag on.
In fact, the Iranian regime has blocked the straight of Hormuz and this is one of the main ways of supplying oil and gas to the world market. This is a significant destabilization. No one in the world is able to say how long all this will last.
But it is important that the protection of life really starts working as soon as possible. We need stability, too. It is necessary that those who currently turn to Ukraine for support continue to aid our defense and our air defense first and foremost.
Last year, we offered the United States an agreement on drones. This is the right prospect to be with us in drone production and application and everyone now sees that there is no alternative to this prospect. Ukraine has the world's largest experience in countering attack drones.
Without our expertise, the Gulf region, the entire Middle East, and our partners in Europe and America will find it incredibly difficult to build a robust defense. We are ready to help those who help us help Ukraine. Rooster Umearov together with our military, together with intelligence, the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will prepare specific agreements.
Ukraine is a reliable security donor. This is not only our security. This is our economic prospect.
Protection for Ukraine, cooperation with partners, development for Ukrainian industries. Everything that Ukrainians have learned in our defense can serve as a global foundation for security and a global basis for a protected life. Today, there were intelligence reports in particular about how the Russians want to take advantage of the war in the Middle East.
They want to put strikes from Iran in their favor. The Russians are talking about lifting sanctions, about some kind of supposedly their ability to help America in the situation with Iran. These are typical Russian manipulations.
They help only where they see an opportunity for themselves to dominate. They simply don't know how to work as equals. We hope that America sees and understands all risks, all addictions, all threats.
Even a partial lifting of sanctions against Russia is an example that can be extremely negative, including for others, those who want to fight against their neighbors as Russia does. And one more thing, today there was a report by the commander in chief Alexander Cerski on the use of missiles in response in a fair response to the aggressor. Our soldiers hit one of the important Russian military factories in Brians.
This factory produced electronics that serve as components for Russian missiles. The very same missiles that hit our cities, our villages, and civilians. We defend ourselves.
Russia has long had the power to end this war which it started itself. In fact, Russia, the Iranian regime, and North Korea are fighting a joint war. This is their joint aggression against the west, against the entire democratic world, against the fact that peoples and states have their rights and have real meaning.
We need to protect life. We need to be together in this defense. I want to thank everyone who stands with Ukraine.
I thank everyone who helps save lives and care for people. Glory to Ukraine.
