After Ukrainian President Zelensky accused Russia of spying on Gulf states and US military bases via satellite and sending images to Iran, former US President Donald Trump said he would ask Russian President Vladimir Putin to clarify the matter.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky recently claimed that Russia is using satellite technology to monitor Gulf countries and U.S. military installations, and that it is forwarding photographs of these sites to Iran.
In a brief interview with reporters, former U.S. President Donald Trump responded to the allegation by saying, "I will ask Putin. We will find out."
Trump’s statement comes amid heightened tensions between the United States and Russia, and follows a series of accusations that Russia is extending its surveillance reach beyond traditional borders.
No official response has yet been issued by the Kremlin or the U.S. State Department regarding the claim or Trump’s remarks.
The incident underscores the ongoing geopolitical rivalry and the importance of satellite intelligence in modern conflict dynamics.
