Moscow should have no illusions: other crises will not divert our attention from Ukraine.
Our support continues, as long as needed
After the Hamas attack on Israel on 7 October, there were fears that Western support for the Israeli side was distracting them from Russia’s full-scale aggression against Ukraine.
Background: Earlier, Western officials, including NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, stated that this was not the case.
