Zelenskyy: Ukraine’s Survival Depends on US Military Support
Ukrainian President Zelenskyy Stresses Importance of US Military Support in Repelling Russian Invasion
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has expressed his concerns about the survival of Ukraine without US military support, stating that it would be “very, very, very difficult” for the country to survive both during Russia’s invasion and in the future after the war ends. Speaking at the Munich Security Conference, Zelenskyy emphasized the critical role of US support in Ukraine’s defense against Russian aggression.
Zelenskyy highlighted the low chances of Ukraine surviving without the backing of the United States, emphasizing the importance of maintaining strategic partnerships between the two countries. He expressed his reluctance to imagine a scenario where Ukraine would have to fight against Russia without American support, underscoring the vital role that US military assistance plays in Ukraine’s security.
The Ukrainian president also raised concerns about the vulnerability of Ukraine to future attacks by Russia if the US does not continue providing military support. Zelenskyy accused Russian President Vladimir Putin of seeking a ceasefire deal not to end the war but to lift international sanctions on Russia and allow its military to regroup.
Zelenskyy’s remarks underscore the critical need for ongoing US military support in Ukraine’s defense against Russian aggression and the significance of maintaining strong strategic partnerships between the two countries. As Ukraine continues to face challenges in repelling Russia’s invasion, the role of US military assistance remains crucial in ensuring Ukraine’s security and stability.
