One of Russia's goals is to draw global attention away from the war in Europe, says Ukraine's president.

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.

    Their best bets are;

    a) when Trump is convicted

    b) when Trump wins

    c) when Trump loses

    While it’s not telling what the US will do afterwards the question is would they rather have a defensive or offensive position
