Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy recently spoke exclusively about the significant U.S. foreign aid package, with $61 billion allocated to Ukraine's military in its ongoing conflict with Russia. The aid, which had been on hold for six months, was finally approved by Congress and President Biden, bringing a sense of relief to Zelenskyy.
Zelenskyy expressed his gratitude to the American people for their support, emphasizing the importance of timely assistance in the face of Russian aggression. However, the challenge now lies in swiftly delivering the much-needed weaponry to Ukrainian troops, who have been facing superior firepower from Russian forces.
The Ukrainian President acknowledged the urgency of the situation, stating, 'God bless we will get it as quick as possible, otherwise they (the Russians) will push us back.' Zelenskyy highlighted the critical need for Western allies to stand by Ukraine in its time of need, drawing parallels to the support extended to Israel in its conflict with Iran.
Despite facing obstacles such as political opposition and escalating casualties, Zelenskyy remains resolute in his determination to defend Ukraine. When asked about the possibility of working with former President Trump, he affirmed Ukraine's commitment to collaboration with the U.S. as a strategic partner.
As the conflict continues to take a toll on both military personnel and civilians, Zelenskyy acknowledged the challenges of maintaining morale in the country. He emphasized the gravity of the situation, stating, 'It’s a question without a real answer.'
When questioned about Ukraine's prospects of victory against Russia, Zelenskyy expressed unwavering resolve, declaring, 'We have to win. We have no alternative.' Despite uncertainties about the nature of victory and its aftermath, Zelenskyy affirmed Ukraine's determination to emerge triumphant in the face of adversity.
