Zelenskyy Draws Parallels Between Hamas and Russia, Calls for International Attention

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has compared Hamas, the Palestinian armed group that attacked Israel, to Russia, calling both "terrorist" entities. He also criticized Iran for its alleged involvement in both conflicts, citing the use of Iranian-designed Shahed drones by Russia in Ukraine. Zelenskyy's remarks were made during a video conference with NATO's Parliamentary Assembly. The ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas has escalated, with Israel imposing a "total blockade" on Gaza, leading to further displacement of Palestinians. Iran has denied supplying drones to Russia or being involved in the attacks on Israel, but has expressed support for Hamas.
