The situation in the Middle East may affect the volume of aid from partners to Ukraine, primarily from the United States. This was stated by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in an interview with Sky News, published on June 24 at night, reports UNN.
This is a big problem. This is a political focus. This suggests that there may be a reduction in aid from partners, primarily the United States. We would very much not want this, but we feel it, we understand it. I would very much like the priority to be human lives, and not just one conflict or another.
The President warned that without the help of partners, the Russians would feel their superiority.
"Without the help of partners, the Russians will feel their superiority on the battlefield and it will be difficult for us," Zelenskyy said.
