Ukraine probably can’t survive without US help, Zelenskyy says
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is warning that his country will likely lose its war with Russia without U.S. military support.
Ukraine has increased its military defense production since Russia launched its full-scale invasion but has a “low chance” of survival if the U.S. cuts support under President Donald Trump, Zelenskyy said Friday in an interview with NBC’s “Meet the Press.”
“It will be very, very, very difficult,” he said in the interview with Kristen Welker scheduled to air Sunday. “And, of course, in all the difficult situations, you have a chance. But we will have a low chance — low chance to survive without support of the United States.”

I can't even express how angry this whole thing makes me. It was avoidable. We could have reacted in 2014.
Thanks Obama (and Merkel)
If only there was a punishment for Crimea...
Ukraine was wrong to put its faith in the West.
They should have kept their nukes and/or mined the s**t out of their border with Russia.
Hopefully other nations can learn from their mistakes in hindsight so this doesn't happen again.
Please Europe help Ukraine!
"That's the idea" says Trump, Putin's fanboi.
EU ... step in ...
There's going to be another war 100%, mark my words, we are currently in 1938 again. Trump called Putin is same as Ribentrov and Molotov. Europe behaving same as Chamberlain holding a scrap of paper 1 year before attacking Poland. Russia will go for Georgia, Moldova and then Baltic states
Isn’t that the what trump and putie agreed on when he was installed in the White House?
Most likely before being installed in the Whitehouse the first time around.
So, not a proxy war.
One side being weaker and reliant on outside support is not what makes something a proxy war.
That’s what I said.
Your initial comment comes across as sarcastic.
Did it?
When someone tells you how you came across to them, pretending that you didn't come across to them that way is pretty silly.
