Ukraine worried Israel-Iran crisis will decrease military aid
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says he hopes the escalation between Israel and Iran won’t result in a drop in military aid to Kyiv.
“We would like to see aid to Ukraine not decrease because of this,” Zelenskyy said in remarks published on Saturday. “Last time this was a factor that slowed down aid to Ukraine.”
The attack on Iran has led to a rise in oil prices, which Zelenskyy said would benefit Russia.
“The attacks led to a sharp rise in oil prices. This is bad for us,” he said.
The Ukrainian leader also warned Europe’s support is stalling without Washington’s engagement, as “Europe has not yet decided for itself what it will do with Ukraine if America is not there”.
