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.

        Alright. Let me know when China invades Taiwan and then I can admit when I’m wrong.

          Alright. Let me know when China invades Taiwan and then I can admit when I’m wrong.

          When that happens, we’ll all be worrying about other very more important things than your fragile ego, to take the time to let you know.
