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, as Russia launches a spring offensive. The US has redirected air defenses and eased oil sanctions on Moscow, leaving Ukraine with dwindling resources to face Russian assaults.
Russia has started a spring offensive in Ukraine, with a massive bombardment of nearly 1,000 drones and 34 missiles. Ukraine retaliated with almost 400 drones in the largest reported overnight attack on Russian regions and Crimea. The US has redirected air defenses and eased oil sanctions on Moscow, allowing Russia to rake in billions of dollars from a temporary waiver. This move has been criticized by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who believes it will enable Russia's military campaign. The conflict in Ukraine is now in its fifth year, with Europe's biggest conflict since World War II showing no signs of easing. The US has warned it may turn its back on the conflict if peace efforts come to nothing.
