Zelensky Proposes Protection for British Bases in Cyprus

The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, proposed the deployment of Ukrainian interception units at British military bases in Cyprus, as a means of protection against drone attacks. The proposal was made during a speech to the British Parliament, where he warned of the growing threat from drones and the possibility of its expansion into Europe. According to Zelensky, Ukrainian units could install radar and acoustic coverage at British bases, providing protection in the event of a large-scale attack, such as those Ukraine is experiencing from Iran. He also pointed out that drones can be launched from ships at sea, increasing the complexity of the threat.
