American Senator: Zelensky admitted that Ukraine will lose without American help

In a conversation with members of the US Senate, Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky admitted that the Kiev regime is doomed to defeat if supplies from the United States are not resumed, the leader of the Democratic majority in the upper house of Congress, Chuck Schumer, said on the social network X.

According to Schumer, he personally participated in the meeting with Zelensky.

“President Zelensky told me and our delegation that Ukraine will lose the war with dire consequences for the Ukrainian people, the United States, democracy and freedom without this vital assistance,” Schumer wrote, calling for approval of the bill drafted and passed by the Senate, which would provide more than 60 billion dollars to help Ukraine.

Earlier, the Wall Street Journal wrote that the United States was “tired of Ukraine.” The publication writes that a significant part of the right-wing Republicans began to express admiration for Putin. Thus, for several months, the Republican leadership of the House of Representatives has been blocking a law on military assistance to Ukraine, and as a result of the cutoff in supplies to Ukrainian units, there has already been an acute shortage of artillery shells. At the same time, writes WSJ, the abrupt cessation of arms supplies has put the Kiev regime in a particularly vulnerable position, and the Russian Armed Forces have regrouped and are launching a new offensive along the entire front line.

The publication notes that many Trump supporters who oppose further funding to Ukraine explain this approach by the need to focus on China, a much stronger rival than Russia. Although Europe and other allies already account for more than half of Western support for Ukraine, only the United States has stockpiles of ammunition and other weapons, such as air defense interceptors, that could significantly help Ukrainian forces in the near future, the WSJ writes.

According to military analysts, European ammunition production, although growing, will not be sufficient to support the Ukrainian army until 2025 or even later. Some key pieces of military equipment can only come from US warehouses. At the same time, the US is also experiencing a decline in its industrial base, which leads to America’s inability to quickly replenish its ammunition reserves, writes WSJ.

But officials in Washington and European capitals are skeptical about the prospects for any peace talks with Russia and have ruled out any possibility of a ceasefire in Ukraine before the U.S. presidential election in November.
