Zelensky fears that West will pay less attention to Ukraine amid Middle East crisis
At the same time, he "hopes for continued US support"
PARIS, October 11. /TASS/. Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky fears that the West may pay less attention to the conflict in Ukraine amid the recent attack on Israel by Palestine’s radical movement HAMAS.
"The global community may become less attentive to Ukraine," Zelensky said in an interview to France 2.
At the same time, he "hopes for continued US support."
The Ukrainian president also claimed that "if the aid to Kiev ceases, time will be on Russia’s side."
On October 7, after Israel came under shelling from the Gaza Strip, a group of Hamas militants infiltrated the Jewish state. Hamas calls its attack a response to Israeli actions against the Al-Aqsa Mosque on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. Israel has announced it was ready for war, started Operation Iron Swords and ordered a complete siege of the Gaza Strip. Clashes erupted in the West Bank and there was an exchange of artillery fire on the border with Lebanon.
