Ukraine is increasingly concerned that the ongoing conflict with Russia is losing global attention, particularly as events in the Middle East gain prominence.
The recent surge in oil prices, coupled with the U.S. government's temporary approval for the sale of Russian oil stored on tankers, has the potential to alleviate economic pressures on Moscow.
In light of these developments, Kyiv is adjusting its approach to maintain international support and address the implications of shifting geopolitical priorities.
