Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said the war in Iran “is emboldening” Russia as his country’s capital came under renewed barrage of air strikes.

Moscow is providing intelligence to Tehran and “preparing for new conflicts in the coming years,” the president said in a post on X following a briefing with his team of negotiators on Tuesday.
