Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Sunday that āmillions will be killedā in his countryās war with Russia without additional funding from the United States.
CNNās Kaitlan Collins asked Zelensky in an interview to respond to comments made by Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio), who claimed Ukraineās outcome in its war will not be changed even if it receives the President Bidenās $60 billion aid request. Zelensky said he wasnāt sure if Vance āunderstands what is going on here.ā
āTo understand it is to come to the front line to see whatās going on, to speak with the people, then to go to civilians to understand ā¦ what will [happen to] them without this support. And he will understand that millions ā¦ will be killed. Itās a fact,ā Zelensky said.
America isnāt being the World Police, not in this instance. Weāre enabling the Ukrainians to defend themselves, but otherwise are not active participants.
Neither is the UN, BTW. This is a war Ukraine has to fight and win on their own.
