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.

    For 50 years its been Russia bad, Communists evil. And now the USA has a freed hand to fund a proxy war with Russia and they just cant agree on it? Smells like Kompromat

        And don’t forget Russia hacked the RNC the same time they hacked the DNC. They only released what they hacked from the DNC though.

        Seems very likely whatever was on the RNC servers was far worse than what was on the DNC servers, because gestures broadly at Republicans.

        So why haven’t we seen anything from the RNC hack? The answer that makes the most sense to me is that the RNC hacked info is being used to blackmail several Republicans into working for Russia.
