Andriy Kovalenko, head of the Center for Countering Disinformation, believes that Russia created problems for Iran amidst Tehran's conflict with Israel, as it cannot provide additional air defense systems. He noted that Russia is unable to save its allies and is experiencing difficulties in Africa and post-Soviet republics.

"Russia abandoned Iran. It couldn't have been otherwise. Russia is not capable of providing additional air defense systems that Iran wants, because due to losses, it is moving S400 launchers from the Far East to the European part of Russia. Troops, missiles - everything is occupied by the war with Ukraine," Kovalenko said.
According to him, Russia failed to save "its" Bashar al-Assad in Syria, "Russia abandoned everything in Karabakh."
Russia will gradually begin to experience difficulties in Africa. Influence in post-Soviet republics, particularly in Central Asia, is also significantly declining
In his opinion, Iran clearly sees how agreements with Russia, despite helping Moscow in killing Ukrainians, "turn into air, empty words and statements, which, after Trump's reaction, are also urgently softened."
"And then there's Belarus, which Moscow really wants to keep, but who knows now," Kovalenko summarized.
Recall
US President Donald Trump announced that Israel and Iran had agreed to a full ceasefire. According to him, "this war could have lasted for years and destroyed the entire Middle East, but it did not happen and never will."
