One of Russia's goals is to draw global attention away from the war in Europe, says Ukraine's president.

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.

    This is insane. The USA under Biden is more responsible for the Hamas terrorist attacks than Russia is. Trump cut funding to Palestine, and Biden then started sending them hundreds of millions of dollars again:

    There were also photos of Hamas terrorists wielding M4s, a USA weapon.

    If you somehow haven’t realised by now, the US government fucking lovewars. It pumps money into their pockets and it almost always results in the currently in power party staying in power if an election comes along during the war. The democrats want these wars to never end, that’s why they want to keep funding them.
