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.
Damn, that sucks. Not sure why it’s our problem though. Millions of Russians will be killed if we do give them aid. Ukraine should learn to solve their own problems.
Watch this clown decry genocide one comment prior. Spineless agitprop.
Genocide is awful. If Russia were doing that in Ukraine, I’d be all for a war over it. This is a war over a couple ports Russia wants. Completely irrelevant to america, and not our problem.
Putin loving dickhead! Go die in a corner by yourself.
LMAO, because I don’t want America to get in a war with Russia that is not remotely relevant to us? Y’all are brainwashed as fuck if you think Russia is the only evil country in the world.
Oh it is our problem, if Russia takes and keeps Ukrain that tells the whole world expansionism is back on the table. If you think war cant find its way to your doorstep, your wrong
Damn, good thing America has all 10 of the worlds largest militaries then. Very much not concerned with that.
War on your doorstep as an american doesnt look like enemy soldiers in the street. More like you wake up one day with no power, no tap water, no phone service, no internet, no way to get news or ask for help. Eventually a cop car rolls down the street loudspeaker blaring shelter in place orders, national guard will bring food and water later yadda yadda and all because we are extremely complacent towards security of utilities in the cyber space
Sounds fun right?
That just sounds like typical late stage capitalism, lol. But I have nothing against defense spending. America has very little defense spending though. The thing we call “defense” is very obviously 90% offense. America should spend our money helping our own people, not screwing around in wars half way around the world.
How did you come to the calculation of millions of Russians?
Why would it be millions of one side but not the other?
Why would millions of Russians be killed if Russia left Ukraine and went back home? Its Putin, not Ukraine. Slava Ukrainia!
The weapons we give Ukraine are going to be used to kill millions of Russians
Maybe Russia shouldn’t invade other countries if they don’t want their people to die
Ironically exactly the opposite was upvoted in regards to hamas. That just because a government did something bad, the people don’t need to be punished- which I agree with.
Still not seeing why America is supposed to give a crap about a war on the other side of the globe. We are still responsible for the deaths of millions if we give Ukraine all the weapons they desire.
Aid wouldn’t be needed if the ruzzians withdraw from Ukraine.
Why should I, an American, care that they need aid? Those $160 billion could have been spent on healthcare for our people. We have our own problems to deal with, wars in the eastern hemisphere are not our problem.
Lol, just be quiet troll. It’s easy looking at your post history that you have an agenda that is aligned with the opposition of America.
A degraded russian military is good for pretty much everyone.
And by the way you talk you probably don’t give a shit about socialised healthcare. It’s just a stick you can use to hit people with.
Yes, I too can tell by what I write that I disagree with America on a lot. Good observation.
Maybe since you don’t know anything about me you should just take me at my word that I hold the extremely common belief I am claiming to.
The fact you talk about fixing America’s problems as a stick to hit people with shows that you hate america. You want us to be in forever wars and keep getting drained by billionaires
Not an American.
You have some pretty dumb ideas about foreign policy.
The fact that you used healthcare as an example is a conservative dogwhistle, and a rather ineffective one at that.
Isolationism is something your country cannot go back to. That idea was rightly killed over a century ago, as if it was ever actually fully realised.
I thought your country at least paid lip service to freedom and democracy worldwide, how is letting Russia invade and annex another country good for you?
It’s not hard to tell that you aren’t someone who actually understands the topic, or is acting in good faith here.

Okay but why should I care if Russia takes a small portion of Ukraine? Y’all got relatives in sevastopol or something? Let them take it, we need to fix our own problems, like healthcare that nobody can afford.
Tell us you’re a bot please. IF you’re not, you are either a troll (I would hope) or you’re an uneducated sucker with two brain cells fighting for third place.
Don’t you know that everyone who disagrees with you is a bot? Most numbskull argument I’ve ever heard.
So a bot, thanks.
Ukraine is the world’s “bread basket” they produce a ton of the world supply of wheat and barley.
Okay? So we just trade with Russia instead if they lose. The wheat is t going anywhere, though I’m sure we’d do just fine without it.
Hey, I want your car. You should give me your car so I don’t have to forcefully take it from you. Ok? Great, let me know where to pick up it. Don’t like that idea? Why not?
Sure thing, just bring several million men to my house.
They are solving their own problems by fighting back. Unfortunately that requires missiles that fucking cost money.
So they aren’t solving them then? Why do we have to pay for their missiles? We can’t afford to fight their war for them.
