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.

Sounds like we’re on the right road. Just postponing the inevitable until now.

It’s going to end there anyway, or total annihilation of Ukraine.

Not sure how Ukraine buying a bunch of houses in the UK helps their war effort, but no doubt the Zeepers know how that works.

.....Russia should....support the isolationist tendency in the US, saluting with favor the limitation of US geopolitical interests to the American continent...... Aleksandr Dugin, as quoted by James D. Heiser

Moscow's influencers are having plenty of success with the ignorati. Aren't you proud of yourselves?

Aid to Ukraine is a drop in the ocean compared to what is being spent on transfer payments in the US budget. Cutting off the money going to illegal migrants for cash cards, cellphones, busfares, airfares, free housing, NGOs, und-und-und is what you need to be focusing on, but noooooo.....you're going to listen to Moscow's propaganda and enable Putin to advance his Eurasian policies. Was Hitler's takeover of the Czechoslovakia his "last demand", as he claimed?
