WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - US Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said on Friday that Volodymyr Zelensky told him Ukraine would lose the conflict with Russia without US military assistance.
"President Zelensky told me and our delegation that Ukraine will lose the war with dire consequences for the Ukrainian people, the US, and democracy & freedom without this vital aid," Schumer wrote on X.
House Speaker Mike Johnson and the House must pass the Senate's national security bill as soon as possible, Schumer added.
Schumer is on a visit to Ukraine marking the second anniversary of Russia's special operation. The congressional delegation, which also includes senators Jack Reed, Michael Bennet, Richard Blumenthal, and Maggie Hassan, met with Zelensky.
The visit comes after the US Senate passed a $95 billion supplemental funding bill with $60 billion in additional Ukraine aid and $14.1 billion in security assistance for Israel, but no border security measures. House Speaker Mike Johnson said that the lower chamber has no plans to consider the current legislation after the Senate failed to propose "adequate" border security provisions.

Zelensky and Schumer - two peas in a pod.
Bob, the local bagger at Publix, told Schumer that Russia wins if he doesn’t give more money to Ukrain$.BFD.
I sure hope & pray so.
Our war was here and we lost. Game over, barring divine intervention.
Of course they would. They are losing big time WITH the hundreds of billions of dollars already wasted on this Globohomo misadventure.
Whether Ukraine and Russia settle this mess now or 500 billion dollars later, what difference does it make?
The more money = the more delay in time = and the more deaths for Ukraine citizens.
The only negative to US politicians/lobbyists/war manufacturers for ending the killing now, is less money for them.
The Money is Grift money.
With $34 TRILLION in debt, we will have to borrow to give Ukraine any money. And
How much of what we give comes back to Hunter and "The Big Guy"? and Schmucky, Pelosi, and Pelosi's and der Schmuckster's sons?
additional funds buy more dead people, on both sides, nothing more, and will not change the outcome one bit.
They will lose with or without it the money. One just perpetuates the slaughter longer.
Ukraine is historically part of Russia, a large portion of its population is Russia. Ukraine has no long-term ties to EU or NATO. We should butt out, let Russia and Ukraine solve their civil war, end NATO as it serves no value to us, let EU stand or die on its own. Imagine if all of these resources spent on this were instead directed at securing our borders and deporting illegals?
I agree with you 100%. This did start as a Civil War..
Not our war....
Zelensky wanted the war.....let him fight it....... and leave us out of it.

“Ukraine Will Lose to Russia Without US Aid”
Ukraine will also lose to Russia with US aid.
Two things Schummer can do. 1. Pass HB2 and pay for the Ukrain bill. A start would be IRS funds
Since I believe everything Chuck Schumer says, I’m suddenly pro-Ukraine funding.
(Not)
Poland’s Foreign Minister Radek Sikorski hints that countries such as Poland could get nuclear weapons because of lack of aid for Ukraine.
He says the gridlock in the U.S. will have consequences for how its security guarantees are viewed by allies
