Ukrainians Fear Decline in Global Support Amid Shift in Attention to Gaza

As the Israel-Hamas conflict dominates global headlines, Ukrainians worry about dwindling aid and support for their ongoing conflict with Russia.

Ukrainians fear that the global attention shift to the Israel-Hamas conflict will result in less aid for their military, hurting the country's ability to sustain its confrontation with Russia.
Ukrainian fundraising efforts for the war have seen a decline in donations since the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas war.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy acknowledged the global fatigue with the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, and noted that the Middle East conflict provides an opportunity for Russia by taking the spotlight off Ukraine.
U.S. President Joe Biden has linked U.S. support for Israel and Ukraine, stating both are vital for national security, and his secretary of transportation, Pete Buttigieg, visited Ukraine to demonstrate continued U.S. commitment.
Despite the global attention shift, some Ukrainians remain hopeful that interest in their cause will remain once the focus on the Israel-Hamas conflict subsides.
