Volodymyr Zelensky, in an interview on Wednesday for the Italian channel Sky TG24, stated that Ukraine will do everything to maintain the support of the United States and Europe in its fight against the full-scale invasion of Russia.
" The United States is one of the leaders in helping and supporting Ukraine, in protecting democracy. I feel there is support in the United States ," Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said.
The Ukrainian president said he has 100% support from the White House and great support in Congress. This statement comes at a time when the main contenders competing to fill the vacant post of Speaker of the House of Representatives have expressed different positions on Ukraine.
The shutdown bill passed this weekend to keep the US government open did not include additional funding for Ukraine, over objections from some conservatives. The administration of President Joe Biden warned that this would have serious consequences for the war.
" The United States did not let us down in a very difficult time. Although there were different voices. You know there were different voices among the representatives of the Republican Party. But for the most part, Democrats and Republicans supported Ukraine, " he said.
Zelensky said he believes Russia is now weaker than it was at the beginning of the war, so stopping support or returning fighting to a frozen conflict would in some way mean helping the aggressor.
" This is not to help Ukraine and to complicate our offensive or defensive actions. No, it's not. Every pause today is a help exclusively for the Russian Federation, " he said.
