Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has made a surprise visit to Saudi Arabia, seeking support for Kyiv as the U.S. considers redirecting military resources to the Middle East amid escalating tensions with Iran. The visit comes as the Pentagon reportedly considers sending another 10,000 troops to the region, adding to the buildup of roughly 5,000 Marines and thousands of paratroopers from the 82nd Airborne Division. Zelenshyy hopes to gain support from the Gulf nations in Kyiv's war against Russia, which is now in its fifth year and Western military aid faces uncertainty. The situation has fueled concerns about a ground attack against Iran, even as both sides hold contradictory signals on potential peace talks.
