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.

    Isn’t it amazing how what Russia is doing in Ukraine isn’t genocide simply because of how Biden handles it?

    Who knew that the definition of “genocide” was entirely reliant on what one US president did.

    Seems no rats’s asses are given about what’s going on over there, nor any props given that Biden is helping them to defend themselves-

      Biden could come up with world peace, feed everyone for free and have health insurance for everyone along with the best economy we’ve ever seeen and the Republicans would still be talking shit about a made up laptop.

      That, or he cares, but in the wrong direction. Which is plausible, considering how much the GOP tends to align with shit Putin says these days.

    It’s his job to milk the rest of us for all he can get but I’m still sick of him coming round with his hand out.

        One coin, two sides. What agenda has you looking up and responding to my 2 month old comment? Makes me think all these cries of “Russian bot!” Are projection of some kind. But you know, I don’t think your shit resonates with any human.
