The Pentagon is reportedly weighing up whether to redirect weapons originally meant for Ukraine to the Middle East. In response to a query about the report, Nato spokesperson Allison Hart said weapons continue to be delivered to Kyiv. Vladimir Putin has reportedly asked Russia’s oligarchs to donate to the country’s dwindling defence budget to continue its invasion of Ukraine. Ukraine is using long-range strikes on energy infrastructure to maintain pressure on Russia after international oil sanctions on Moscow were eased in the wake of the Iran war, Zelenskyy said. Therefore, unlike most countries in the world, Ukraine has its own sanctions: its long-range capabilities,” he told Reuters in an interview late on Wednesday.
