Zelensky: Ukraine does not receive any indications from partners regarding redirection of weapons to Middle East

According to a Ukrinform correspondent, the president made this statement during a Zoom conference with journalists while in Qatar.

“As for the redirection of weapons, nothing of the sort has happened. I cannot tell you what will happen next. I think it depends on many factors. In particular, the duration of the war, I believe, will be a decisive factor in this matter. I hope that no such steps will be taken,” he said.

Zelensky noted that the Ukrainian side is aware of the number of weapons the U.S. is using in the conflict with Iran, and also knows what Iran possesses and what that country needs from Russia.

“All of these are factors that influence the further development of events both in Ukraine and in the Middle East. We hope that the shipments will not be redirected. There have been no signals,” he said.

As reported by Ukrinform, the U.S. Department of War is considering redirecting weapons intended for Ukraine to the Middle East, as the war in Iran is depleting the U.S. Army’s stockpiles of some of its most critical ammunition.
