The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, has expressed his belief that due to the tension between Israel and Iran, the military aid given to Kiev will not decrease.
He said, 'We do not want the assistance given to Ukraine to be less than this. The military tension of Israel and the Arab countries, which was a factor in reducing aid to Ukraine last time, was also a factor.'
Israel launched a large-scale attack on Iran on Friday, targeting nuclear and military facilities as well as high-ranking generals and nuclear scientists.
Zelensky said that the attack on Iran has increased the price of oil and it will benefit Russia.
'The attack caused a sharp rise in oil prices. It's bad for us', he added, calling for a price cap on Russian oil exports.
He said that he will raise the price limit issue in a possible meeting with US President Donald Trump in the near future.
However, if the Israeli attacks lead to a reduction in the supply of military equipment from Tehran to Moscow, this could also be favorable for Kiev. Ukraine and its Western allies have claimed that Russia has made extensive use of Iran-made drones and North Korean personnel in the war against Ukraine.
The Ukrainian leader also warned that Europe's support would stop without Washington's involvement. "Europe has not yet decided what to do with the aid to Ukraine if there is no US involvement."
He urged the US to "change its approach" in the negotiations with Russia and warned that the US's relations with Russia are now "too warm" and that it will not help to end the war.
