Ukraine could encounter heightened risks in obtaining U.S. anti-missile defences if the war in Iran continues for a prolonged period, according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy.

During an interview with CNN, Zelenskiy noted Ukraine’s limited access to such weaponry due to restricted U.S. production, but emphasized that there has been no supply disruption so far.
