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
Trump and many of his psycho cronies are bought and paid for by Russia.
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.

I’m pretty sure he does understand. He just doesn’t care.
“I’m sorry, but I just don’t see how I can turn a profit on keeping you alive.” —JD Vance
I think the problem is that he found a way to turn a profit
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.
I think part of what Europe a whole is missing is that the US as a general population is withdrawing, possibly even to pre-1940’s levels. If that happens, globalization as a whole is at risk.
Says who? What “general population”? If you’re referring to the roughly 1/3 of this country that are either openly fascist, or fascist adjacent then it is on the rest of us to deliver crushing blows to their ideology. Nobody is coming to save us, and we must be willing to muster the courage of our convictions to defeat them. I don’t think they represent anything approaching a majority, but they are still incredibly dangerous.
You see it on the left as anti-imperialism. Obviously not the same thing as the “America first” crowd, but the general sentiment that the US should not be as directly involved in the affairs of other countries has been on the rise for a long time and poll numbers bear that out
I see your point, but the sentiment is still strong that America should be involved as a global leader, even in the data you provided. While that number has gone down, it still shows that roughly two thirds of the electorate do not want to embrace isolationism. However, I do think it matters what that participation in the world looks like, and like anything else there is a lot of nuance to that.
JD Vance hates humanity.
It has to suck so bad for Zelensky to be looking over here at the US and seeing one of the two parties is Putin’s lapdog.
millions will be killed
Nothing excites a conservative more than the agony and death of millions of innocent people. Bloodlust of the vulnerable is a fundamental conservative trait.
Oh… he doesn’t care. Or maybe he does, but he likes the thought.
People like JD Vance get off on cruelty.
JD Vance is a charlatan and a spokesperson for the alt-right. He didn’t write Hillbilly Elegy, and he’s actively promoting the presidency of someone who said they would turn the US into a dictatorship.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
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.
The latest U.S. estimate said Russia has had more than 300,000 casualties in the war since invading Ukraine, according to a senior U.S. defense official.
Additional aid to Ukraine has been held up in Congress as House Republicans have tied stricter border provisions to approving more funding for the country.
A bipartisan Senate deal on border security that included aid for Ukraine, Israel and Indo-Pacific allies was unveiled earlier this month, but the deal fell apart after House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.)
President Biden is scheduled to host the four congressional leaders at the White House on Tuesday to discuss funding for Ukraine and efforts to avert a potential government shutdown as Congress is facing a pair of looming spending deadlines in the coming weeks.
The original article contains 411 words, the summary contains 183 words. Saved 55%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
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-
I seem to recall the internet absolutely called Ukraine a genocide when Russia started abducting and deporting Ukrainian children.
And they’re still doing that. Guess it’s just not cool anymore to mention it now that Biden is an easier target for right wing pripaganda.
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.
And socialists would still be accusing him of genocide.

Uhm the republicans let millions of their own citizens die of covid why would they care about Ukrainians?
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.
Please shut up tankie
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.
Americans are choosing between food and housing. I’m choosing to pay to keep my house and I’m thankful I can hit up food pantries here and there. It’d be cool if billionaires paid for that shit but here we are.
