The Russian Federation is absolutely implicated in the planning of Iranian assaults on American military installations. Zelensky revealed the Russian satellite surveillance system and the part played by Ukrainian technology in safeguarding the Gulf’s petroleum infrastructure.
Russia is helping Iran fight against the US
The Russian Federation furnishes the Tehran regime not just with Su-35 fighter jets, but also with real-time intelligence information. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy disclosed remarkable details in an interview with NBC News: Russian satellites were the ones that “navigated” the US air base before the strike on March 26. Now, Ukraine, leveraging its unparalleled expertise in battling the “Shaheeds,” is emerging as a pivotal collaborator for Saudi Arabia and the UAE.
Igor Semivolos, the director of the Center for Middle Eastern Studies, shared this information on his Facebook profile.
How Russia aids Iran
Ukraine has discerned an unambiguous pattern in the function of the Russian satellite constellation. Prior to the assault on the Prince Sultan base, the Russians captured three sets of comprehensive images: on March 20, 23, and 25 .
The forecast materialized: on March 26–27, Iran unleashed 6 ballistic missiles and 29 UAVs. The consequence was damage to American AWACS aircraft and injuries sustained by 15 US military members. Zelensky approximates the involvement of the Russian Federation in this undertaking as 100% .
“The principal component of this backing was the agreement for the provision of 48 Su-35 combat aircraft, with the initial aircraft arriving in Iran towards the conclusion of 2024, and the primary deliveries proceeding concurrently with the hostilities. Moreover, since 2024, a minimum of one squadron of Yak-130 advanced trainer aircraft has been delivered, and by January 2026, Iran had obtained up to six Mi-28 attack helicopters. The swiftness of the Russian defense industry’s response is particularly noteworthy: on February 22, 2026, merely six days preceding the commencement of the full-scale war, a pact was formalized for the supply of Verba MANPADS valued at 500 million euros, and Russian Orsis T-5000M precision rifles were identified in operation with the IRGC units,” the expert stated.
The role of Ukraine
While the Russian Federation is “orchestrating disorder” to benefit from inflated oil prices, Ukraine is entering into strategic accords with Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar. Our nation stands alone with 4 years of practical experience in combating Russian-Iranian technologies.
Why do Gulf monarchies opt for Ukraine:
-
Ukrainian FPV interceptors neutralize 70% of modernized Shaheds.
-
Kyiv possesses charts of Russian satellite trajectories and algorithms of Iranian drones.
-
Ukraine furnishes turnkey solutions for defending vital oil infrastructure.
“For the Kremlin, the war in the Middle East represents a means of ensuring the resilience of its own economy, where a protracted conflict guarantees elevated petroleum prices and the capacity to circumvent sanctions in the Indian Ocean. The Russian Federation is endeavoring to govern the upheaval, while maintaining a low profile, however Ukraine’s agency has been reinforced: it is no longer merely a recipient of aid, but is functioning as a supplier of demonstrated remedies for safeguarding the Gulf region,” Semivolos articulated.
As a reminder, CNN previously reported that US President Donald Trump is exhibiting contradictory signals regarding armed conflict with Iran , which is eliciting discontent among Republican lawmakers and allies in the aftermath of four weeks of hostilities.
