“Millions” could die in Ukraine’s war with Russia if US lawmakers don’t approve President Joe Biden’s $60 billion aid request for Kyiv, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky told CNN on Sunday.
Asked by CNN’s Kaitlan Collins about a claim made by the US Senator J.D. Vance that the outcome of the war would not change even if Ukraine receives the money, Zelensky said he wasn’t sure 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.

Schumer the traitor probably told him to say that.
Or Gyorgy Schwartz.
“...as Ukrainian troop deaths reach at least 31,000.”

IF that’s true, then (given what we’ve been told of Russian casualties and catastrophic kill ratios), the Russians should be bleeding out soon.
And hopefully it fails.

EXCERPT:
Dec 7 (Reuters) - Kyiv has agreed with two American firms to jointly manufacture vital 155mm artillery shells in Ukraine . . .
"We have agreements with two leading American companies to jointly produce, in Ukraine, 155-calibre ammunition," Oleksandr Kamyshin, minister for strategic industries, said in televised comments.
But he noted that Ukraine had never produced such shells and it would be "a minimum of two years, a maximum of three" before production could begin.

Our border first.
At this rate (31k in 2 years) it would take 128 years of war to kill “millions” (the minimum for the plural being 2,000,000).
“In four years, American industrial production, already the world’s largest, doubled in size.”

“American industry provided almost two-thirds of all the Allied military equipment produced during the war: 297,000 aircraft, 193,000 artillery pieces, 86,000 tanks and two million army trucks.”
“Schumer the traitor probably told him to say that.”
The ENTIRE Ukraine War has ALWAYS been Hollywood Production, at least as far as the West is concerned.
Here’s a modest proposal.
Bidet’s vote count in 2020 was about 81 million.
He wants to give Ukraine $60 billion.
Personally, I consider Russia the aggressor and the Bad Guy here; they invaded a sovereign nation. Putin is an immoral POS with the Cross in his hand and the devil in his heart.
However, that is no excuse to send taxpayer money to Ukraine.
BUT…if every alleged Bidet voter got Ukraine’s Venmo account and sent $1,350 well…everything would work out.
I am CERTAIN voters for Bidet would gladly pony up.
Has this guy ever heard of making peace? Or is the west forcing him to continue this slaughter.

Wait until they steal that $300 billion (zero strings attached) from the Russians. Let the good times roll for every globohomo oligarch and their corrupt stooges from Kiev to DC. By the way, if Z has fought 2 years and lost 31,000. Why does he need a 500,000 man mobilization now to be able to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat?
If our border remains open, millions of people will die.
More like 31,000 so far this year...
They wanted peace, and Biden stopped it.
as Ukrainian troop deaths reach at least 31,000
Try again at the number, you airhead XiNN female dogs.
What a pathetic attempt a fearmongering.
