[Zelensky: Prolonged War in Iran Will Bolster Russia, Challenge Ukraine's Weapon Supplies] Golden Finance reported on March 31, citing AXIOS, that Ukrainian President Zelensky stated on Monday that a prolonged war in Iran is highly advantageous to Russia but very unfavorable to Ukraine. Zelensky noted that Russia's oil-dependent economy is receiving a significant boost due to soaring oil prices and the easing of U.S. sanctions. Meanwhile, this conflict could lead to shortages of urgently needed air defense interceptors and other weapons for Ukraine. Zelensky also mentioned that Ukraine has shared intelligence with Middle Eastern leaders regarding Russia's assistance to Iran, including potential support for targeting U.S. military and allied bases in the region. Additionally, Zelensky expressed concerns over U.S. measures to address the energy crisis, particularly the sanction waivers related to Russian oil sales.
