Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky made a statement regarding the impact of regional conflicts on Ukraine.

Drawing attention to Russia’s cooperation with the Iranian regime, Zelensky said: “Russia is providing assistance to the Iranian regime. Although the exact amount of assistance provided so far is not known, the type of assistance is known. The good thing is that the Iranian regime does not appear to be able to supply Russia with the missiles and some other weapons used in attacks against Ukraine.”

Emphasizing that the shift of global attention to other regions poses a risk to Ukraine’s defense, Zelensky said: “However, the focus has shifted to the Middle East. I hope the war will not last long, not only because I am concerned about Ukraine but also because every human life lost or destroyed is a tragedy. Meanwhile, we do not see progress in peace talks.”

Referring to the universality of humanitarian losses, Zelensky added: “If a lasting peace or ceasefire is not negotiated in the first days of the conflict, the risk of prolongation is very high. This will certainly affect the situation in Ukraine. Less focus means less support.”
