Russia exploiting Iran war, Zelensky says after fresh bombardment

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has accused Russia of attempting to exploit the war in the Middle East to cause "even greater destruction" in his country.

He said Ukraine needed air-defence systems regardless of what was happening elsewhere. The US-Israeli war with Iran has led to many air-defence missiles being expended fending off retaliatory attacks.
...
The Ukrainian leader noted that the attacks were a reminder to Kyiv's partners that air defences were a "daily necessity" for Ukraine, urging them to supply more as quickly as possible.

His remarks reflect that the missiles used by air-defence systems are rapidly being expended in the Middle East as US-aligned Gulf states seek to neutralise Iranian missile and drone attacks. Zelensky has already expressed concerns that the war could leave Ukraine struggling to source defensive weaponry.
