Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Sunday that “millions will be killed” in his country’s war with Russia without additional funding from the United States.
CNN’s Kaitlan Collins asked Zelensky in an interview to respond to comments made by Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio), who claimed Ukraine’s outcome in its war will not be changed even if it receives the President Biden’s $60 billion aid request. Zelensky said he wasn’t sure if Vance “understands what is going on here.”
“To understand it is to come to the front line to see what’s going on, to speak with the people, then to go to civilians to understand … what will [happen to] them without this support. And he will understand that millions … will be killed. It’s a fact,” Zelensky said.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Sunday that “millions will be killed” in his country’s war with Russia without additional funding from the United States.
CNN’s Kaitlan Collins asked Zelensky in an interview to respond to comments made by Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio), who claimed Ukraine’s outcome in its war will not be changed even if it receives the President Biden’s $60 billion aid request.
The latest U.S. estimate said Russia has had more than 300,000 casualties in the war since invading Ukraine, according to a senior U.S. defense official.
Additional aid to Ukraine has been held up in Congress as House Republicans have tied stricter border provisions to approving more funding for the country.
A bipartisan Senate deal on border security that included aid for Ukraine, Israel and Indo-Pacific allies was unveiled earlier this month, but the deal fell apart after House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.)
President Biden is scheduled to host the four congressional leaders at the White House on Tuesday to discuss funding for Ukraine and efforts to avert a potential government shutdown as Congress is facing a pair of looming spending deadlines in the coming weeks.
