‘He has what I need and I have what he needs’ — Zelensky says he’s ready for talks on interceptor drones with Netanyahu

(Dmytro Basmat – The Kyiv Independent) Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has requested to hold talks with President Volodymyr Zelensky on the topic of Ukrainian interceptor drones as the U.S.-Israeli war against Iran continues into its third week, Israeli media publication Ynet reported on March 14. Ukrainian Ambassador to Israel Yevgen Korniychuk confirmed to Ynet that Kyiv has received the request, adding that a meeting will likely take place early next week. Since the start of the U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran on Feb. 28, Kyiv’s prospects as a key player in global drone manufacturing have strengthened. Backed by its experience fending off Russian drone attacks since the start of Moscow’s full-scale invasion, Kyiv has offered to share its experience in countering cheap long-range UAVs. ‘He has what I need and I have what he needs’ — Zelensky says he’s ready for talks on interceptor drones with Netanyahu
