Volodymyr Zelensky: Putin is trying to manipulate the war in Iran to his advantage  - 1

Russia is trying to manipulate the conflict in Iran and the entire Middle East "to the advantage of its aggression" and "effectively turn the Iranian regime's strikes against its neighbors and US bases into a second front in Russia's war against Ukraine and, more broadly, against the entire West", Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said.

On social media, he wrote that his team was in constant communication with the United States and stressed that the American priority at the moment was the Iranian conflict, which is why the meeting on peace talks in Ukraine, scheduled for this week, has been postponed.

"However, Ukraine is ready for a meeting at any time, in a format that can help and that will be realistic in terms of ending the war," the Ukrainian leader assured.
