Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in remarks made public said his country could help unblock the Strait of Hormuz, whose closure by Iran has rattled the global economy, AFP reports.

“No one has involved us specifically in the issue of the Strait of Hormuz.

During my visits, I told representatives of the Middle East and Gulf countries: Ukraine is ready to help with everything related to defence,” Zelensky said.
