Zelenskyy Says U.S. Doesn’t ‘Have Time for Ukraine’ because of Iran War: Interview

Zelensky said U.S. peace negotiators are focused on Iran, warning that delays could reduce deliveries of air-defense missiles to Ukraine.

  • On Tuesday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said United States peace negotiators "have no time for Ukraine" because of the war in Iran, during an interview on German television.
  • Zelensky told ZDF that negotiators Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are "constantly in talks with Iran," as US-led peace efforts have stalled since the Iran war erupted in late February.
  • Deliveries of United States arms, particularly PAC-3 and PAC-2 missiles, arrived "slowly," Zelensky said, with supplies purchased through the PURL programme financed by European countries.
  • Alongside Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store, Zelensky announced a joint declaration to "facilitate closer cooperation between the Norwegian and Ukrainian defence industries," with drones to be manufactured in Norway.
  • Zelensky described United States negotiators as "pragmatic" but warned, "if the United States does not put pressure on Putin and only engages in a gentle dialogue with the Russians, then they will no longer be afraid.
