What is an ally?

President Zelenskyy: Ukraine is open to discussing the issue of the Strait of Hormuz, but we are not involved at this stage, as no such request has been made.
"Today, I do not see any country capable of lifting the blockade on its own - only joint efforts can deliver results. Ukraine has experience launching a grain corridor in the Black Sea despite Russia’s attempts to block the supply of food and other goods. The current situation is similar, but this time it concerns energy.
Our proposal - based on our experience - is that the war and negotiations on reopening the Strait of Hormuz could proceed in parallel. It is worth trying to find a diplomatic solution, and this could be beneficial for both sides in the conflict.
An alternative approach could be the establishment of unilateral control over the strait, similar to what Ukraine did with the grain corridor. This would require interceptors, military convoys to escort vessels, a large integrated electronic warfare network, and other tools. We are ready to help with this.
However, at this stage, we are not involved. No one has made such a request yet. For now, we are simply sharing our expertise.
If one day our partners choose to use it, we will be ready."
