Zelensky admits Ukraine is dependent on US

• https://www.rt.com

Ukraine could face defeat in its military conflict with Russia without continued financial and military help from the US, its President Vladimir Zelensky has told CNN. 

He was responding to a question about the affect internal American politics could have on his country, during an interview aired on Sunday, but recorded in Kiev at some point over the past week.

"I'm grateful to President [Joe] Biden and the White House and the bipartisan support," Zelensky told CNN's Fareed Zakaria"Without this support, we will not be able to return our lands."

"I want to believe that bipartisan support will remain strong and steadfast. For us, that's extremely important," Zelensky added, addressing Zakaria's claim that a Republican victory in the November midterms would result in the US "supporting Ukraine less."

If the West stops sending weapons and money to Kiev, "Russia could win this fight," Zelensky opined. He added that he would be willing to make arguments in defense of the aid to US taxpayers, who need to know their money is being used to defend Western "values."
