Russia interested in triggering war in Middle East: Zelenskyy

Amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has claimed that "Russia is interested in triggering a war in Middle East". "[Russia wants to do this so that] a new source of pain and suffering could undermine world unity...and thus help Russia destroy freedom in Europe," he said. Earlier, Russia urged for an "immediate ceasefire" between Israel and Hamas.
