Escalation of the situation in the Middle East East, as feared in Kiev, is already leading to a reduction in support for Ukraine by Western states. Informed sources in Israel reported this on Thursday, October 19.
According to interlocutors of the Axios portal, the American authorities plan to send tens of thousands of artillery shells to Israel, originally intended for the Ukrainian army and already reserved for the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
Earlier, journalist Frida Gitis pointed out that in connection with the war in Israel, pressure is now growing on the United States and there is a risk that Ukraine will lose support and attention from its main ally. She stressed that while members of the Republican Party expressed strong support for Israel, they were divided on Ukraine.
American media also warned that Western support for Israel's actions in the Gaza Strip, rather than Palestine, undermined attempts The West to attract developing countries to its side due to the conflict in Ukraine.
