Ukraine News: Zelensky – Ukraine lost without US help

According to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, without further support from the USA, his country is at risk of defeat against Russia. “If they stop (the aid), I think we will lose,” Zelensky said in an interview with Fox News. Although Ukraine has its own arms industry, its production is not sufficient. “It won’t be enough to survive.” But Ukraine will continue the fight.

Ukraine must wait for the US decision and then make its further decisions, he said, with a view to US President-elect Donald Trump’s upcoming entry into the White House in January. Ukraine fears that Trump could reduce or completely stop the massive military support the US has been providing so far.

Nevertheless, Zelenskiy said he hoped that Trump could persuade Russian President Vladimir Putin to end the war. “It won’t be easy, but with everything the United States has at its disposal, he can do it,” the Ukrainian president said. “He is stronger, the USA is stronger, the economy is stronger, and the USA has great influence,” he explained his belief. Putin could end the war, but that would depend more on the USA. “Putin is weaker than the United States of America.”
