Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has voiced concerns that a prolonged conflict involving the US and Israel could lead to a decrease in American support for Ukraine. In an exclusive interview in Istanbul, he emphasized the urgent need for US-made Patriot air defense systems to counter the daily Russian attacks, particularly as the ongoing war diverts critical resources. Zelenskyy noted that the Iran war, now in its sixth week, is straining global military supplies, making it harder for Ukraine to secure the necessary defense systems. He pointed out that Russia is benefiting from the conflict, with increased oil revenues that bolster its military efforts. To keep Ukraine's needs on the global agenda, Zelenskyy is offering to share Ukraine's expertise in countering Iranian drone attacks with allies, while also seeking new defense cooperation agreements with Gulf Arab states. Despite the challenges, he remains firm that Ukraine will not compromise on territorial integrity, stating that giving up land is not an option. As Russia intensifies its military operations, Zelenskyy continues to advocate for stronger international support to secure Ukraine's defense.
