Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has given an interview to Western media and said that the West's focus on the Israel-Hamas war has slowed the supply of artillery shells to Kyiv, undermining the latter's efforts as the counteroffensive against Russia has stalled.
"The world is not focused on the battlefield in Ukraine, and the breakdown in focus is not helping. Now, I am working on getting help from the West. Their focus has shifted to the Middle East and other directions. Without support, we will retreat", said Zelensky.
