People's Financial News, April 5th — According to reports released by Ukraine on the 5th, Ukrainian President Zelensky recently warned that the long-term conflict in the Middle East could lead the United States to reduce military aid to Ukraine. He pointed out that ongoing hostilities between the U.S. and Israel with Iran may force Washington to reallocate resources, thereby weakening support for Kyiv. He specifically emphasized that Ukraine urgently needs more "Patriot" air defense systems to intercept Russian ballistic missiles, and currently, there are no effective substitutes for such systems on the market. He stated that due to the conflict in the Middle East, Ukraine is no longer the focus of international attention, which poses a risk of aid reduction and could even impact already approved aid programs.
