Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has stated that there are risks of reducing Western assistance. However, he also expressed confidence in partners who assure that this will not happen.
Zelenskyy made these remarks during a joint briefing with Prime Minister of Belgium, Alexander De Croo, on October 11.
"Am I afraid that support will decrease? There are such risks... But our partners know Ukraine's priorities and are working on this," the President said.
The impact of the war in Israel on assistance to Ukraine.
"We discussed the issues related to the very tense situation in Israel and its impact. Of course, our partners assure us that Ukraine will still receive assistance, and no one will abandon Ukraine. We trust our partners," the head of the state emphasized.
He also expressed the opinion that due to the increasing number of challenges, Ukraine's partners may be forced to shift their focus. Zelenskyy believes this is entirely understandable, and he noted that the current situation is dangerous.
"Everyone is afraid. In particular, that there will be other tragedies in the world. After all, the amount of military aid that partners can offer is constant... I think that Russia also counts on this - on the distribution of aid. And not only Russia," the Ukrainian leader said.
He added that the country's partners, in particular the United States, assured that support for Ukraine will not be reduced for the time being.
