Iran war deflects attention from Ukraine as an emboldened Russia starts spring offensive
The Iran war has diverted global attention from Russia's invasion of Ukraine, which is entering its fifth year. Russia has launched a spring offensive, with intense fighting along the 1,250-kilometer front line, while Ukraine seeks more air-defense missiles and economic support.
Russia has intensified its invasion of Ukraine, launching a spring offensive with almost 1,000 drones and 34 missiles. Ukraine retaliated with a large drone attack on Russian regions and Crimea. The US has eased oil sanctions on Russia, allowing it to earn billions of dollars. Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy criticized the move, saying it will enable Russia's military campaign. Ukraine is seeking more air-defense missiles and economic support, including a 90-billion-euro loan from the EU. Fighting is escalating along the front line as the weather improves.
