The United Kingdom believes that Ukraine could play a key role in international efforts to secure the Strait of Hormuz, due to its military expertise acquired on the battlefield.
British Armed Forces Minister Al Carns praised Kyiv's technological advances, particularly in the field of drones, which he considers to be among the most advanced in the world.
This statement comes as London coordinates discussions among more than 30 countries to try to reopen this strategic maritime route, disrupted by the Iranian blockade amid high tensions in the Middle East.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed that his country was participating in these consultations. Ukraine has already deployed more than 200 experts to the region, contributing in particular to the neutralization of Iranian-designed drones.
For British authorities, Ukraine's accumulated experience in dealing with drone attacks and modern military operations is a valuable asset in securing maritime routes.
Despite this opening towards an increased international role, London reiterates that supporting Ukraine against Russia remains its strategic priority in defense matters.
In a context of global energy tensions, Kyiv's potential contribution illustrates the expansion of the Ukrainian conflict to global security issues, far beyond its borders.
