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.

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.

Well, Ukraine formally asked for aid at the beginning of Russia’s “special military operation”. Soooooo…
The US hasn’t sold a single thing to Ukraine, but has been donating their old stock.
How is helping Ukraine not a good thing? Doesn’t that increase security by having another friendly nation on your side?
Your arguments are rather weak. Seriously, how does allowing Russia have its way benefit anyone but Russia?

Wow, it’s almost like the US could do all of that at the same time…
Allies aren’t cheap to earn, and if you want to not be the world police you need a lot of them.
Or do you think that the countries that are opposed to the US would just not do anything if you sat on your hands? Or their Allies come to their aid when they needed it?
