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.
Never thought I’d agree with Zelensky about something related to Israel. Ukraine deserves aid much more than Israel.
I dont think Israel needs aid.
They are responding to an agressor just the same and doing a great job
The problem is they are also the aggressor and have been for decades.
Hamas and the Israeli government are both fucking awful.
Feels like a stretch to call carpet bombing civilians a great job.
In terms of killing people A+ Job, no assistance needed.
Doing a great job at committing genocide
Israel absolutely does not need aid.
If they need more killing equipment, their ruling class can pay for it.
If you take him at his word, then that implies that Putin and Iran teamed up together to start conflict in Gaza, purposely to reduce support for the Ukraines in their war.
Be really sad if it’s true, as that means people are dying in a war in one part of the world to support a war in another part of the world, a war they have no part in.
if it’s true
You’re actually entertaining the idea? lol.

Vs?
Letting it be bored?
If it’s an effective distraction and Putin and Co. have fully taken advantage by increasing their bombings in the interim, and taking into account the state of information warfare, who is to say that they’re not fanning the flames in their favor?
There are clearly degrees to which one conflict can influence another and I wouldn’t put it past the power-hungry politicians to strategize around every opportunity they get.
“It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.”
It’s creating a new front in regards to the proxy wars. Russia still has the numerical advantage over Ukraine in regards of people it throws into the grinder, but now Iran can get more involved by trying to harass through the Israel-Hamas conflict which decreases the provisions available for Ukraine.
Has Zelensky ever condemned Israel’s war crimes? As one occupied people to another?
Sounds like a strategy with little to win and a lot to lose. He would be angering the nations giving him all his supplies and giving Russian bots fuel for the “Ukrainian nazi” story.
Is this how we turn against him now? Because he hasn’t spoken out about this other conflict in a whole different region being fought for completely different reasons by unrelated people?
Please spare me this crap.
No no, Russia, Ukraine, Israel, Palestine and Iran are colluding to enrich the military industrial complex!!1!
I doubt it.
No, but Putin has.
He’s a Jew.
Quit conflating zionism with judaism. The state of Israel does not represent jews around the world.
Not relevant.
If you think this is bad, just wait until China goes for Taiwan. “Like butter that has been scraped over too much bread.”
China is not going to go for Taiwan.
Wish you guys would get this fantasy out of your heads.
source?
Let us know by what time you think China will invade Taiwan.
When that year comes and the invasion doesn’t happen, either admit you’re wrong or double-down.
he said source.
as in, reason us why? china has clearly expressed this desire over Taiwan, why wouldn’t it invade ever at all on a timeline?
I don’t care what he said.
How much time needs to pass before you admit you’re wrong?
then shut the fuck up you unanswering cunt. lmfao what arrogance
What’s wrong with you?
these reditgrants are sure pain in the ass.
i just asked for proof and they started blabbing. at the same time these hypocrites also dislike religions.

Wow, you didn’t just move the goal posts, you shipped them cross state.
And that ratio, yikes!
Dang, you’re really dedicated to this.
Lol, gonna block you now. Getting annoying seeing you reply to all my posts.
I hate to say it, but within minutes of hearing about the attack by Hamas against Israel, the unexpectedness of it, and the scale of it, I asked myself, “Who’s funding this,” and, “Who gains by this?” And my brain replied, “Putin.”
Sure enough within days his puppets in our government (the USofA GOP) start talking about reducing/stopping aid to Ukraine.
It’s really the greatest example of fuck around find out.
Punch someone in the head and they turn around and belt you, you kind of deserve it.
I really don’t think that’s what’s being said here.
What is taking away the focus is the fact that he supported the ethnic cleansing and genocide that Israel is committing in Palestine. So he thought that these things are not inherently bad, but only bad when they are happening to yourself - and fuck everyone else.
Now he’s just finding out that that might not have been the smartest move, if he have to explain to the world again that they must give a fuck about his war.
Really? Zelenskyy supports Israel killing civilians?
Don’t focus on them…
What about meeeeeeeeeee?
Diverting aid from fighting fascists so that we can fund fascists. Yes, it’s fucked up.
