"If they cut [it], I think we will lose," Zelensky said in an interview with Fox News on Tuesday when asked what would happen if the United States halted or reduced military funding to Ukraine. The conflict in Ukraine is now in "the most difficult period," Zelensky noted, adding that Ukraine would face great danger, if there's no unity among European countries on the Ukraine issue and "what is most important, unity between Ukraine and the United States." The Ukrainian leader believes that President-elect Donald Trump has the potential to bring an end to the conflict.During his election campaign, Trump pledged that he could resolve the Ukraine conflict through negotiations, repeatedly asserting that he could manage to achieve such an accomplishment in just one day.

Trump has also frequently criticized US policy on the Ukraine conflict and derided Zelensky personally, labeling him the "greatest salesman" for taking home multibillion-dollar aid packages from the United States upon each of his visits.Russian officials have repeatedly excoriated the supply of arms to the Kiev regime, stressing that these shipments are unlikely to influence the outcome of the special military operation, while also heightening the risk of escalation.Volodymyr Zelensky is known for criticizing his Western backers for getting caught up in what he calls “internal political games” instead of dishing out more money to the Kiev regime. “This is impossible to understand. It is impossible to agree to this. And it will be impossible to forget; the world will remember this,” Zelensky famously said, when referring to the $60 billion in cash stuck in Congress. Recently, a video clip went viral showing the Ukrainian comedian-turned-politician asking for even more weapons, just moments after Pentagon chief Lloyd Austin announced a substantial $250 million aid package for Kiev. “Yes, we are grateful very much for every support package that is provided to Ukraine from you, but we need more weapons,” Zelensky demanded.

Zelensky’s Cash Cry: Ukraine Facing Defeat If US Purse Strings Cut
06:59 GMT 20.11.2024 (Updated: 09:56 GMT 20.11.2024) MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Terminating US military aid to Kiev would lead to Ukraine's defeat in its armed conflict with Russia, Volodymyr Zelensky said.
"If they cut [it], I think we will lose," Zelensky said in an interview with Fox News on Tuesday when asked what would happen if the United States halted or reduced
military funding to Ukraine.
The conflict in Ukraine is now in
"the most difficult period," Zelensky noted, adding that Ukraine would face great danger, if there's no unity among European countries on the Ukraine issue and
"what is most important, unity between Ukraine and the United States." The Ukrainian leader believes that President-elect Donald Trump has the potential to bring an end to the conflict.
"It will not be simple, but I think if, to use all the issues that the United States has, yes, he can," Zelensky stated.
During his election campaign, Trump pledged that he could resolve the Ukraine conflict through negotiations, repeatedly asserting that he could manage to achieve such an accomplishment in just one day. Russian officials believe the issue is far too complex for such a simple solution. Trump has also frequently
criticized US policy on the Ukraine conflict and derided Zelensky personally, labeling him the
"greatest salesman" for taking home multibillion-dollar aid packages from the United States upon each of his visits.
Russian officials have repeatedly excoriated the supply of arms to the Kiev regime, stressing that these shipments are unlikely to influence the outcome of the special military operation, while also
heightening the risk of escalation.Volodymyr Zelensky is known for criticizing his Western backers for getting caught up in what he calls “internal political games” instead of dishing out more money to the Kiev regime.
“This is impossible to understand. It is impossible to agree to this. And it will be impossible to forget; the world will remember this,” Zelensky famously said, when referring to the $60 billion in cash stuck in Congress.
Recently, a video clip went viral showing the Ukrainian comedian-turned-politician asking for even more weapons, just moments after Pentagon chief Lloyd Austin announced a substantial $250 million aid package for Kiev.
“Yes, we are grateful very much for every support package that is provided to Ukraine from you, but we need more weapons,” Zelensky demanded.
Russia believes that arms deliveries to Ukraine hinder a resolution, directly involve NATO countries in the conflict, and are "playing with fire." Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stated that any shipments containing weapons for Ukraine would be legitimate targets for Russia. He said the US and NATO are directly involved in the conflict, not only through weapons supplies but also by training personnel in the UK, Germany, Italy, and other countries. The Kremlin has stated that the West's weapon supply to Ukraine does not contribute to negotiations and will have a negative effect.
