Zelensky's 'Shameless' Comparison: Iran and Russia Equated for Trump's Favor
- •Ukrainian President Zelensky compared Iran to Russia, drawing criticism for 'shamelessness' in diplomatic circles.
- •Zelensky offered unsolicited advice on Iran, urging global support for protests to overthrow a 'regime that has spread evil'.
- •He lectured Russia, suggesting it reconsider ties with Iran, especially regarding the use of 'Shahed' drones in the Ukraine war.
- •Critics view Zelensky's statements as an attempt to gain favor with Trump and exploit Iran's internal turmoil, where 11,000 protesters have died.
- •Experts call the Iran-Russia comparison 'absurd', citing different contexts: Iran's protests are for rights, while the Russia-Ukraine war is a border dispute.
