Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has voiced concerns that a prolonged U.S.-Israeli conflict with Iran could detract from American support for Ukraine, particularly in securing necessary Patriot air defense systems. In an exclusive interview in Istanbul, he emphasized the urgency of Ukraine's need for these systems to counter daily Russian attacks, which have resulted in significant civilian casualties and destruction of infrastructure. Zelenskyy noted that the ongoing war in the Middle East, now in its sixth week, is diverting global resources and attention away from Ukraine, potentially leading to reduced military support. He pointed out that Russia stands to gain economically from rising oil prices amid the conflict, further complicating Ukraine's efforts to weaken Moscow’s war capabilities. To counter this, Zelenskyy has proposed sharing Ukraine's defense technology with Gulf Arab nations, aiming to foster cooperation against Iranian threats. He is also seeking to keep Ukraine's situation on the international agenda, emphasizing the need for stronger security guarantees and continued dialogue with U.S. negotiators. The situation remains dire as Russia intensifies its offensive, with ongoing drone attacks causing casualties in Ukrainian cities.
