Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned Wednesday in a post on X that the prospect of renewed US strikes on Iran and the diversion of air defense missiles to the Middle East were undermining Ukraine's ability to defend itself against Russian attacks.

“When we look for Patriot missiles to protect our cities and communities from Russian ballistic attacks, we face the same problem again and again – the missiles are going to the Middle East,” Zelenskyy wrote, sharing a video of a speech he delivered earlier Wednesday to Denmark's parliament.

He said Ukraine was already experiencing weapons shortages, leaving it with empty Patriot systems and little means of intercepting Russian ballistic missiles.

Zelenskyy also warned that the Iran conflict could have wider consequences, including price increases and weapons shortages affecting other countries.
