Iran War Distracts US; Zelenskyy: US Has No Time for Ukraine

Iran War Distracts Attention; Zelenskyy: US Has No Time for Ukraine. Key News on Russian Invasion of Ukraine. Central News Agency. (CNA Berlin) April 14: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated in an interview with German television today that due to the outbreak of the Iran war, US peace negotiators are "too busy to pay attention to Ukraine," and he lamented the interruption of US weapons deliveries. Zelenskyy told German broadcaster ZDF that Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, who assisted in mediating talks between Kyiv and Moscow to end the Russia-Ukraine war, are currently "always negotiating with Iran." AFP reports that Zelenskyy described Witkoff and Kushner as "pragmatists" and stated they are trying to "gain more attention from [Russian President] Putin to end the war." However, he warned: "If the US does not put pressure on Putin... and only engages in mild dialogue with Russia, they will no longer be afraid." The Russia-Ukraine war is the deadliest conflict in Europe since World War II, but talks led by the US to end the Russia-Ukraine war have stalled since the outbreak of the Iran war on February 28th, with negotiators from both sides not having met since their meeting in Geneva in February. Zelenskyy said the issue of US arms deliveries to Ukraine has become a "major problem." He stated: "If the war continues, Ukraine will receive fewer weapons. This is crucial, especially concerning supplies for air defense systems." (Translated by Zhang Xiaowen) 1150415. Support with your donations protects the power of press freedom.
