President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that it will be extremely difficult for Ukraine to survive without US military support - both now and after the end of the war.
Zelenskyy said this in an interview with the Meet the Press program on NBC News on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference.
According to Zelenskyy, continued military support from the US is critically important for Ukraine’s defense and its future. He stressed that he does not even want to imagine a scenario in which Ukraine would be left without a strategic partnership with Washington.
“It will probably be very, very, very difficult. And, of course, in all difficult situations you have a chance. But we will have little chance, very little chance to survive without the support of the United States. I think this is very important, critically important,” the Head of Ukraine emphasized.
Zelenskyy also expressed concern that if US military assistance is stopped, Ukraine will remain vulnerable to a new large-scale attack from russia in the future.
He also warned that russian president vladimir putin does not seek to end the war, but only wants a temporary ceasefire to regroup his troops and lift international sanctions.
"This is really what he wants. He wants to take a break, prepare, train, lift some sanctions through a ceasefire and so on," Zelenskyy said.
