Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Sunday that ā€œmillions will be killedā€ in his countryā€™s war with Russia without additional funding from the United States.

CNNā€™s Kaitlan Collins asked Zelensky in an interview to respond to comments made by Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio), who claimed Ukraineā€™s outcome in its war will not be changed even if it receives the President Bidenā€™s $60 billion aid request. Zelensky said he wasnā€™t sure if Vance ā€œunderstands what is going on here.ā€

ā€œTo understand it is to come to the front line to see whatā€™s going on, to speak with the people, then to go to civilians to understand ā€¦ what will [happen to] them without this support. And he will understand that millions ā€¦ will be killed. Itā€™s a fact,ā€ Zelensky said.

    Maybe Russia shouldnā€™t invade other countries if they donā€™t want their people to die

      Ironically exactly the opposite was upvoted in regards to hamas. That just because a government did something bad, the people donā€™t need to be punished- which I agree with.

      Still not seeing why America is supposed to give a crap about a war on the other side of the globe. We are still responsible for the deaths of millions if we give Ukraine all the weapons they desire.
