Zelenskiy says without US aid, Ukraine forces will have to retreat

(Reuters) - President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said in an interview published on Friday that if Ukraine does not get promised U.S. military aid blocked by disputes in Congress, its forces will have to retreat "in small steps".

"If there is no U.S. support, it means that we have no air defence, no Patriot missiles, no jammers for electronic warfare, no 155-milimetre artillery rounds," Zelenskiy told the Washington Post.

"It means we will go back, retreat, step by step, in small steps," he said. "We are trying to find some way not to retreat."

Shortages of munitions, he said, meant "you have to do with less. How? Of course, to go back. Make the front line shorter. If it breaks, the Russians could go to the big cities."

Democratic President Joe Biden has urged the Republican-controlled U.S. House of Representatives to endorse the military and financial aid package, but House Speaker Mike Johnson has held up the matter for months, citing domestic priorities.

The sooner Russia prevails, the sooner real US interests are served.

Time for the EU to step up, pay up, and man up.

Their fight.

Europe war. We started it.

Neither Ukraine or Russia will be allowed to end it. Only a President Trump 2024/47 will end it.

Maybe It’s time for him to look for a negotiated settlement.

The Democrats will lose Kiev. They’re just trying to hold onto it through November.

Well if we don’t get some relief from our tax burden soon, we’ll be in a fine pickle. Or if inflation isn’t brought down to 2019 levels soon, I’ll have to take money out of my 401k to survive. Or if I don’t get a job soon, we’ll have to move in with our kids. We can play this game all day long.

Question. What was the military requirement and defense budget before the attack?

President Zelensky,

Agree to a DMZ based on the current lines.

Wait ten years and start again. Or maybe not.

No charge for the advice,
Ben

Zelensky and his Zeepers will have to retire to Epstein's Island.

The Z-Biden "information war" version: Republicans won't pay.

And pay. And pay and pay some more.

Lets clean up the title.

Zelenskiy says without the U.S., Ukraine forces will be defeated

Eff that...Lets keep this thing going for years longer! We can print money, lets keep those printing presses smoken! We can worry about it when the national debt is a several quadrillion.
