The event can stop helping Ukraine because of Iran's attack on Israel - isw

"The Russian troops mainly responded to Iran's strikes on April 13, assuming that the growth of the threat of military escalation in the Middle East will probably divert the attention of the West, including the United States, and distract from Ukraine," the statement said. Milblogists of the Russian Federation claimed that Western media could stop illuminating the war in Ukraine, because attention is drawn to the risk of escalation in the Middle East.

While the US and the West may begin to delay in the supplies of Kiev, as it can priority assist Israel. Several Russian troops stated that if Ukraine does not receive additional Western air defense systems, then UAVs and missiles would "run safely". In particular, such hopes were expressed by the Kremlin's troops and officials after the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7.

Analysts have noted that US military assistance delays have already caused deficiency of air defense and ammunition reserves, which prevents the Armed Forces from defending during the Armed Forces on the Front and UAVs and missiles in the rear areas. Russian President Vladimir Putin probably believes that US assistance will continue to be postponed or stopped forever.

"And any evidence confirming this idea will probably contribute to Russia's efforts to strain Ukrainian forces after they have reached a critical point on the battlefield and in the rear," analysts said. The ISW is convinced that Ukraine's ability to defend itself depends on the continuation of US assistance, in particular, the longer they have insufficient security, the more difficult it is to protect themselves during the attack of the occupiers.

We will remind, on April 15, the media reported that former US National Security Advisor John Bolton said that President Joe Biden was a "shame" for the country because he urged Israel not to take action in response to Iran's attack. Instead, the White House Advisor on National Security John Kirby said that the United States did not seek war with Iran, but will continue to help Tel Aviv to defend themselves. On the night of April 14, Iran attacked Israel of more than 170 UAVs and 150 rockets.
