Zelensky warns Middle East conflict risks weakening U.S. support for Ukraine and boosting Putin.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky warned that the Middle East conflict is diverting U.S. attention and resources from supporting Ukraine, citing postponed diplomatic talks and strained U.S.-UK relations. Speaking on BBC, he expressed concern that Russian President Putin benefits from prolonged instability, which drains Western military supplies like Patriot missiles and weakens NATO unity. Zelensky urged U.S. President Donald Trump and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer to rebuild their partnership, emphasizing the enduring strength of the historical U.S.-UK alliance despite temporary tensions.
