Zelensky Warns of Ongoing War on Iran to Favor Russia Over Ukraine
In a virtual interview, Zelenskyy stated, "I am sure Russia wants long war. They have benefits: The U.S. is focusing on the Middle East and may decrease military help to Ukraine. Sanctions are partially lifted. I see only benefits for Russia from the war with Iran continuing."
He noted that Russia is profiting from rising energy prices through increased oil sales and cautioned that Ukraine’s weapons supplies could be impacted if the conflict in Iran continues.
Zelenskyy also claimed that Ukraine had shared intelligence with Middle Eastern leaders indicating that Russia provided Iran with satellite images of US and allied military bases in the region.
On the subject of peace negotiations with Russia, he expressed concern that the US might pressure Ukraine to cede territory, stressing, "We are not the aggressors."
Russia has not issued an immediate response to these remarks.
