"Zelenskyy Urges US to Support Ukraine Against Iranian Threat, Citing Israel's Response"
Ukrainian President Zelenskyy urges the US Congress to bolster support for American allies in the wake of Iran's attack on Israel, drawing parallels between Tehran's tactics and those employed by Russia against Ukraine. He emphasizes the need for tangible assistance to prevent further escalation in the Middle East and criticizes the recent slowdown of Western military aid. Ukrainian officials hope the attack will prompt US Republicans to approve aid packages for Israel and Ukraine, as Western support for Ukraine has waned. The conflict in the Middle East could impact Ukraine's interests, and there are efforts to couple aid for Israel and Ukraine in a national security supplemental bill.
