Quote: "I have not received any direct requests from the UK, or any of our partners, or representatives of the Middle East. I have not spoken to anyone about this, so there is nothing further to discuss."

Details: Zelenskyy pointed out the experience gained by Ukrainian troops and said Ukraine is ready to share its know-how: "Let our partners come to us."

Quote: "At the start of this war we sent our lads to nearby countries, to countries with which we have good neighbourly relations. They trained in Germany, the UK and the United States. So when these countries, countries that are our partners, approach us, we are open to sharing our experience and technologies."
