After the end of the war in Iran, the United States can resume pressure on Ukraine in order for Kyiv to make concessions to Russia. About this President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky said an interview for the Israeli channel N12, informs the portal PromPolitInform.
According to him, special will be the pressure for Ukraine to leave those parts of the Donbass where the Ukrainian military still control the territory.
The Americans want to end the war in Ukraine, but I’m afraid they see only one way to do it. Why should we pay the price, we, not the aggressor?.. The Americans see no other way to stop Putin except for the withdrawal of Ukrainian forces from our territories. I’m afraid that no one really understands the danger of this to our security, “he stressed.
Zelensky also added that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu continues to try to “find a balance” between Ukraine and Russia. This is happening even now, when military cooperation between Russia and Iran has become an obvious threat to Israel itself.
I feel that Netanyahu is always trying to balance Russia with Ukraine, even when it is clear that Russia is helping Iran. He is the Prime Minister and must decide, – said the President of Ukraine.
According to him, despite the outbreak of a major war with Iran, there is no real dialogue between the leaders. The last contact took place in January 2025. Although Netanyahu made a request for a meeting, he never called back to agree on details.
I have had no contact with the Prime Minister of Israel or the President of Israel since the beginning of the war. Therefore, we did not send anyone to Israel and no one asked us for help… We have what Israel needs, and Israel has what we need (air defense), “Zelensky said.
According to him, Ukraine has already transmitted to the leaders of the Middle East intelligence information on the extent of Russia’s military assistance to Iran. He once again warned that the Kremlin is strategically interested in delaying the war in the Middle East. This allows Moscow to weaken the world’s attention to Ukraine and reduce the amount of assistance to the Armed Forces of Ukraine and improve its economic situation through possible easing of sanctions and rising energy prices.
On March 28, the United States delivered an ultimatum to Ukraine: either an agreement on peace with the Russian Federation, or on Easter stopping the supply of weapons.
On March 31, the WSJ assured that Trump was ready to end the war with Iran without opening the Strait of Hormuz.
