The Israel-Gaza war is “taking away the focus” from the conflict in Ukraine, the country’s President Volodymyr Zelensky has admitted.

He said this was “one of the goals” of Russia, which launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.

And he denied that fighting in Ukraine had reached a stalemate, despite a recent assessment to this effect by the country’s top military general.

Ukraine’s counter-offensive in the south has so far made little headway.

This has prompted fears of war fatigue among Kyiv’s Western allies, with suggestions of growing reluctance in some capitals to continue giving Ukraine advanced weapons and funds.

        How about you try to prove a positive instead of asking for a source to prove something isn’t going to happen, debatelord

          source?

          True, you can’t prove a negative, but at the same time that person made a firm statement, so someone else’s totally in the right to ask for citation to backup what they said.

          They could have supplied quotes from Chinese leaders stating that they were never going to invade, etc.

              Anyone who asks someone to prove a prediction is categorically an idiot

              Nobody asked for “proof of a prediction”, but to back up their opinions that they are expressing as facts with some actual facts.
