The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, stated that without support from the US, it will be very difficult for Ukraine to survive both now and in the future after the war ends. He mentioned this in an interview with NBC News at the Munich Security Conference.
Zelensky emphasized that continued military support from the US is critically important for Ukraine’s defense and its future. He doesn't even want to imagine a situation where Ukraine remains without strategic partnership with Washington.
'It will likely be very, very, very difficult. And, of course, in all difficult situations, you have a chance. But we will have little chance, little chance to survive without support from the United States. I think this is critically important,' said Zelensky.
Zelensky also expressed concern about the possibility of Russia launching a new large-scale attack on Ukraine if military assistance from the US is halted.
The President warns that Vladimir Putin does not intend to end the war but only wants a temporary ceasefire to regroup his troops and lift international sanctions.
Earlier, Volodymyr Zelensky discussed security guarantees for Ukraine with Melania Trump.
