Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky warned that the Middle East war is redirecting American resources away from Ukraine.

"Peace negotiations are constantly delayed, and the reason is the Iran war," Zelensky stated. Putin benefits from the elevated energy costs resulting from the conflict.

A Patriot missile shortage is "certain." The US produces 60-65 missiles per month (approximately 700-800 per year), but more than 800 missiles were used on just the first day of the Middle East conflict.

Zelensky called for improved Western unity.

Addressing the UK Parliament, he declared: "The regimes of Russia and Iran are brothers of hatred."
