Volodymyr Zelensky is clear: "We are not going to talk about Ukraine 'a little later.' Ukraine is not 'a little later.' Ukraine is already in such a tragedy that we must find a way to deal with this in parallel."

The Ukrainian president, in a CNN interview from Kyiv, admitted there is a "great risk" that efforts to end the war in Ukraine will be delayed until the Iranian conflict concludes. The problem is concrete: the same US negotiating team - led by envoy Steve Witkoff and Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner - is simultaneously working on both Iran and Ukraine.

And the weapons? Zelensky reveals that the conflict with Iran has disrupted deliveries critical to Ukrainian defense, particularly anti-ballistic missiles. American production capacity simply is not enough for two fronts.

The good news: the EU approved a crucial 90-billion-euro loan for Ukraine - money Zelensky called a matter of "life and survival." The loan, previously blocked by Viktor Orban, became possible after his electoral defeat. With these funds, Ukraine can produce up to 1,000 interceptor drones daily instead of the current limited output.

But the bottom line remains: Ukraine is waiting in line while America fights fires on another continent. How long can you wait when bombs fall every day?
