Zelenskyj: It's a shame we haven't received as much support

Volodymyr Zelenskyj is disappointed that Ukraine has not received as much military support as Israel and other US allies in the Middle East. In an interview with The Guardian, the Ukrainian president says that he is grateful for the US support, but that others have received more.

- It's a shame.

Zelenskyj says that he has repeatedly told US President Donald Trump that Vladimir Putin cannot be trusted and that the Russian president does not want peace, no matter what he says.

The Ukrainian leader also notes that Trump's gaze has been directed away from Ukraine recently.

- It is clear that their focus shifted immediately when the war with Iran broke out, he says.
