Zelenskyy calls on US for more aid, invites Trump to visit Ukraine
Kyiv, The Gulf Observer: Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has called on the United States to provide more funding to help his forces counter Russia, and invited former US President Donald Trump to fly in to see the scale of the conflict for himself.
Zelenskyy said American soldiers could eventually be pulled into a greater European conflict with Russia if Washington did not step up support.
“If Russia will kill all of us, they will attack NATO countries and you will send your sons and daughters [to fight],” Zelenskyy said according to a transcript of an interview with NBC’s ‘Meet the Press’.
US President Joe Biden has pressed the US Congress to pass a $106 billion supplemental spending bill, with the bulk of the money going to bolster Ukraine’s defences and the remainder split among Israel, the Indo-Pacific and border enforcement.
