 Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on October 10 he had good news on artillery and air defense supplies after talks with Romanian President Klaus Johannes and Bucharest, but gave no details. Zelensky also said everything possible should be done to prevent Russia turning part of the Black Sea or the Danube region into what he described as a maritime dead zone. Russia has pulled out of a deal that guaranteed safe shipments of Ukrainian grain via the Black Sea, and has been attacking Ukrainian port infrastructure on the Danube River. Zelensky also touched on the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians, reiterating that he believed it was in Russia's interests to inflame war in the Middle East.
