Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was one of the first world leaders to back the ongoing U.S.-Israeli war against Iran, which started on Feb. 28.
For Ukraine, the choice was logical: Iran is a Kremlin ally that has backed Russia’s aggression against Ukraine and supplied drones to Moscow.
Moreover, Zelensky is seeking to curry favor with U.S. President Donald Trump and show that Ukraine is a reliable ally, analysts say.
. . .
But it is unclear whether this strategy will work.
Trump’s hostility towards Russian allies like Iran and Venezuela has not yet affected his relationship with the Kremlin. Moreover, Trump has been reluctant to antagonize Moscow and take a more pro-Ukrainian stance in peace talks.
The other consequence of the war Zelensky is backing is the oil and gas prices going up, by a lot. Also less production in middle east. Shall we guess who profits? Did I mention that a lot of air defense and other resources are being used there instead in the Ukraine? This war is so much win for Ukraine, no more Shaheds there because Russians don’t know how to build ones, right? Etc etc the lists goes on.
