Zelensky tells CNN talks on Ukraine cannot wait until after the war in Iran is over
Zelensky said Ukraine cannot delay diplomacy as the war in Iran diverts attention and weapons supplies, and he called a 90 billion euro EU loan vital.
- On Wednesday, the European Union approved a €90 billion loan for Ukraine after Russian oil transit via the Druzhba pipeline resumed, clearing a key condition for the financial package.
- Outgoing Hungarian Prime Minister Victor Orbán had previously blocked the funding by demanding Russia restart oil flow into Europe; his landslide election defeat last week removed that final obstacle.
- President Volodymyr Zelensky said securing the funds is a question of 'life and surviving' for his country. Without the money, Ukraine produces roughly 1,000 drone interceptors daily despite capacity to make 2,000.
- Zelensky admitted the war in Iran diverts focus from Russia's aggression, calling it a 'big risk' to progress. He expressed concern that US negotiators Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner lead both conflicts' talks.
- While technical talks continue, Zelensky stated he sees no opportunity to meet the United States until the Iran conflict ends. He emphasized that Ukraine's peace efforts cannot wait for that resolution.
