Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky warned that the war in Iran could divert global attention and military resources from Ukraine’s fight against Russia, risking air-defence shortages. Kyiv has shared drone expertise with Middle East allies, but Zelensky cautioned the conflict could strengthen Moscow and urged renewed pressure on Russia.
New York: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has warned that the war with Iran could divert global attention and military resources away from Ukraine’s fight against Russia.
In an interview with CNN’s Fareed Zakaria GPS, Zelensky said Kyiv faces growing risks if the conflict in West Asia continues.
“Yes, of course, we have big risks,” Zelensky said.
He said Ukraine could face shortages of air defence systems and missiles if military resources are redirected to the new conflict.
