Finland’s President Alexander Stubb said Ukraine stands to see some benefits from the conflict in the Middle East, which may hamper Russia’s ability to cooperate militarily with Iran.
US and Israeli strikes on Iran, and Teheran’s counterattacks on US bases in the Middle East as well as several neighboring countries mean “Iran and Russia are not able to cooperate right now on missiles or the defense industry,” Stubb said in an interview in Mumbai on Saturday during a state visit to India.
