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.

    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.

      You think Russia is gonna stop at invading Ukraine if someone doesn’t put a dent in them?

        What happens is the other 90% of Ukraine will be fine, and Crimea will be Russian.

      Ukraine is our ally so we’re obliged to help them, on top of which we’re also obliged to all humanity to put an end to Russian aggression. Russia literally invaded Ukraine proper along with Belarus and they were bombing their capital. And lets not forget the crazy unhinged rhetoric from Putin about invading other countries too. This won’t end with Ukraine, they’ll get high off the victory and invade someone else in the future if we don’t stop them

        One tenth of one country is not the start of global domination. Russia invading elsewhere is very speculative, we’ll cross that bridge if we ever come to it.

        We have no duty to all humanity that involves missiles, short of a second WW2 breaking out. While the government swings our dick around, regular americans get shafted year after year. We don’t even have healthcare, fighting someone else’s war is stupid as fuck.
