France 24 April 15, 2024 Ukraine's Zelensky calls for same 'unity' from allies as for Israel
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky urged allies on Monday to show the same "unity" toward Ukraine as Israel, which said it repelled an Iranian attack over the weekend with Western support.
"By defending Israel, the free world has demonstrated that such unity is not only possible, but also one hundred per cent effective," he said. "The same is possible in defending Ukraine, which, like Israel, is not a NATO member, from terror," he continued, calling for "political will" from Ukraine's allies.
Iran over the weekend launched hundreds of drones and missiles, including from its own territory, at Israel in retaliation for a deadly April 1, strike on Iran's consulate in Damascus.
Israel's military said it intercepted 99 percent of the aerial threats with the help of the United States and other allies, and that the overnight attack caused only minor damage.
