Ukraine war: Zelensky says Israel-Gaza conflict taking focus away from fighting
bbc.co.uk

The Israel-Gaza war is "taking away the focus" from the conflict in Ukraine, the country's President Volodymyr Zelensky has admitted.

He said this was "one of the goals" of Russia, which launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.

And he denied that fighting in Ukraine had reached a stalemate, despite a recent assessment to this effect by the country's top military general.

Ukraine's counter-offensive in the south has so far made little headway.

This has prompted fears of war fatigue among Kyiv's Western allies, with suggestions of growing reluctance in some capitals to continue giving Ukraine advanced weapons and funds.

Generally speaking, you should consider that some of them are actually bots/shills sowing unrest to shape a narrative.

Yes. Glad you have some reading comprehension. You have just a bit more to go to get the point.

Okay. 10 years. 20? How much time needs to pass before you admit when you're wrong?

When do you think China is going to invade Taiwan? 1000 years from now? Lol.

While they been talking about it for a long time, true, what's change is that in recent times they've been building up their military forces a lot, and doing very political/military moves in the waters between them. They're definitely ramping up on their actions and/or responses, signaling, probing. And this is new.

How far that escalation goes, nobody knows, but usually if somebody says they're going to do something, you should take them at their word that they're going to do what they said they were going to do, at some point in time.

What's wrong with you?

I'm allergic to bullshit

Alright. Let me know when China invades Taiwan and then I can admit when I'm wrong.

When that happens, we'll all be worrying about other very more important things than your fragile ego, to take the time to let you know.

Right. I won't hold my breath.
