Zelensky warns of bleak prospects for Ukraine without US support at Munich Security Conference
ai generated text
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has stated in interviews with NBC's Meet the Press and other outlets that Ukraine's chances of surviving Russia's invasion are low without continued support from the United States. Specifically, he noted that the country's prospects for survival without US assistance are "low chance - low chance." This assessment comes as Russia continues its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, which began in February 2022, and amid reports of separate calls between Trump and Putin.
Probably it will be very, very, very difficult. And of course, in all the difficult situations, you have a chance. But we will have low chance — low chance to survive without support of the United States.
This is really what he wants. He wants pause, prepare, train, take off some sanctions, because of ceasefire.
We want, really, we want peace very much. But we need real security guarantees.
We will never recognise occupied territories as Russian.
Fundamentally the goal is, as President Trump outlined it, we want the war to come to a close, we want the killing to stop. But we want to achieve a durable, lasting peace.
The United States does not believe that Nato membership for Ukraine is a realistic outcome of a negotiated settlement.
Chasing this illusionary goal will only prolong the war and cause more suffering.
You need to strengthen Ukraine sufficiently militarily and economically, give it membership in the European Union, you need to do everything possible to deter Putin from attacking again.
Zelenskiy knows that he needs U.S. military support to survive, and he understands that he is not going to regain his territory by military means, but he cannot recognize Russia's occupation and wants to try to get that territory by other means. And the country feels exhausted, it needs a break from the war. So this initiative suits him.
