The Israel-Gaza war is “taking away the focus” from the conflict in Ukraine, the country’s President Volodymyr Zelensky has admitted.

He said this was “one of the goals” of Russia, which launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.

And he denied that fighting in Ukraine had reached a stalemate, despite a recent assessment to this effect by the country’s top military general.

Ukraine’s counter-offensive in the south has so far made little headway.

This has prompted fears of war fatigue among Kyiv’s Western allies, with suggestions of growing reluctance in some capitals to continue giving Ukraine advanced weapons and funds.

    Has Zelensky ever condemned Israel’s war crimes? As one occupied people to another?

      Sounds like a strategy with little to win and a lot to lose. He would be angering the nations giving him all his supplies and giving Russian bots fuel for the “Ukrainian nazi” story.

      Is this how we turn against him now? Because he hasn’t spoken out about this other conflict in a whole different region being fought for completely different reasons by unrelated people?

      Please spare me this crap.

        Quit conflating zionism with judaism. The state of Israel does not represent jews around the world.
