During a recent interview with German broadcaster ZDF, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky criticized US peace negotiators for focusing on the Iran war, stating they 'have no time for Ukraine.' He expressed concern over the impact of this shift on US arms deliveries, particularly for air defense systems like the PAC-3 and PAC-2 missiles. Zelensky warned that if the war continues, Ukraine will face shortages in critical military supplies. He emphasized the need for the US to exert pressure on Russian President Vladimir Putin to facilitate peace talks, which have stalled since the outbreak of the Iran conflict. In a related visit to Norway, Zelensky announced a joint declaration with Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre to enhance defense cooperation, including the manufacturing of Ukrainian drones in Norway.
