President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of Ukraine on May 11, 2026, condemned “Iranian terrorist attacks” targeting civilians and critical infrastructure in the United Arab Emirates, describing the strikes as a direct violation of international law and national sovereignty.
The condemnation occurred during a telephone conversation between Zelenskyy and UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan. During the call, the two leaders addressed the volatility of the Middle East and the severe implications that regional instability has on global security and peace.
Both heads of state highlighted how these developments threaten the stability of international maritime navigation and the security of global energy supplies, which in turn creates significant risks for the global economy. The exchange underscores the growing diplomatic coordination between Kyiv and Abu Dhabi as they navigate a complex regional security landscape.
Beyond security concerns, the leaders discussed expanding bilateral cooperation in developmental and economic sectors. They focused on advancing the goals of a Comprehensive Economic Partnership between the two nations, aiming to foster mutual growth and prosperity for their respective populations.
