Zelenskyy explains what will happen if US aid is cut
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said that Ukraine will lose the war with Russia if the United States cuts aid. Our country's own production is not enough to survive.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy said this in an interview with Fox News.
Reduction of US military aid to Ukraine
"If the US cuts aid, I think we will lose. Of course, in any case, we will stay, we will fight, but it will not be enough without weapons," said the president.
According to him, Ukraine has its own production, but it is not enough to win and survive. At the same time, he added that if this is the choice of the United States, then the government will decide what to do next.
Zelenskyy also said that the end of the war depends on Russian dictator Vladimir Putin. He is confident that if Putin really wants to end the war, he can do it.
"He can do it. He may want to end this war. But it depends much more on the United States of America. Putin is weaker than the United States. The US president has power, authority and weapons, and he can reduce the price of energy," the Ukrainian leader believes.
Permission to strike deep into Russia
As a reminder, on November 17, US President Joe Biden for the first time authorized Ukraine to conduct long-range strikes on Russian territory using ATACMS missiles.
The same decision was made by the UK and France. They gave the green light to strike enemy territory with SCALP/Storm Shadow missiles.
On November 19, the Defense Forces used ATACMS missiles to attack ammunition depots in the Bryansk region.
