Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has warned that a prolonged US-Israeli war on Iran could further erode America’s support for Ukraine as Washington’s global priorities shift.

Ukraine desperately needs more US-made Patriot air defence missile systems to help it counter Russia’s daily barrages, Mr Zelenskyy said, speaking to the Associated Press in an exclusive interview.
