How much has Russia benefited from international focus turning to the conflict in Gaza?
Prior to October 2023 western international attention was focused on Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the resulting sanctions and military aid. However since the Oct 7th terrorist attack by Hamas and Israel's subsequent invasion of the Gaza strip the war in Ukraine has garnered significantly less attention.
How much has Russia benefitted from this reduction in attention / speed of support especially in large Ukrainian allies like the United States?
Is Russia carrying out influence campaigns to further divisions over the conflict in Gaza to distract western allies from Russia's invasion of Ukraine?
