President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called the plans of the House of Representatives of the US Congress to consider the project of aid to Israel, excluding from it the issue of financing support to Ukraine, a disgrace.

Zelenskyy condemned US Congress's proposal to divide aid issues to Ukraine and Israel

Zelenskyy noted that this week, the US Congress will consider the issue of aid to Israel. Still, it remains unclear whether the issue of financing support for Ukraine will be considered.

It is amazingly. This suggests that it is a matter of danger then. That this is pure politics. And to be honest, it's a shame for the world. And it is simply a shame for democracy and for all those who only talk about democracy, said the head of state.

The head of state emphasised that the separate consideration of aid issues for Ukraine and Israel would indicate that the upcoming presidential elections in the USA would be more important for American politicians.

And that this is just pure politics. When the whole world says: how come Iran was able to attack Israel, now we need to help Israel in a populist way and forget about what is happening in Ukraine. This is pure politics. This means that everyone does not care how many people die in Ukraine every day. They care about their ratings. That's what it says. They simply forget that the dead have no ratings. And what if Ukraine fails, and there will be a war in other NATO countries, and there will be, American soldiers will then defend, explains Zelenskyy.

In his opinion, it is not too late for the US Congress to approve aid for all countries suffering from aggression by totalitarian regimes.

Zelenskyy on expectations in the event of Trump's victory in the US elections

Zelenskyy also commented on expectations for further assistance from the United States to Ukraine following Donald Trump's election.

We don't think it will get any easier. We are fighting. We are not thinking about next year. We think about tomorrow. Our goals, I will tell you, are much more vital and simpler. We have to live for tomorrow. What will happen next year, I will tell you frankly, no one knows. Because we do not understand what kind of support Ukraine will receive, what other explosions and wars may still be in the world, what will happen to the United States Congress... They can approve the decision. And I hope that they will listen to us and approve the decision in the coming days and weeks, but not longer, said the president.

He explained that it is difficult to fight when the enemy's aviation significantly outnumbers Ukraine's by a ratio of 30 to 1 and artillery by 10 to 1.

We are not asking for any special weapon. We are not talking about some missiles with a range of 2,000-3,000 km, etc. There is nothing like that. And no one is asking to give 500 planes or 300. By the way, Russia uses only 300 planes only on the territory of Ukraine, emphasises Zelenskyy.

At the same time, the president of Ukraine hopes that the policy of supporting Ukraine will not change if Donald Trump is elected president of the United States.

I will believe that the United States, after all, will not stop the aid. And we will be allied states. And what the president's policy, if he changes, no one knows, it's the choice of the Americans, but if he changes, the president's policy will not change, at least in relation to Ukraine, Zelenskyy expressed hope.

Lavrov cynically declared the impossibility of territorial concessions to Ukraine

The odious head of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Sergei Lavrov, cynically announced that in the event of the start of peace negotiations with Ukraine, the Kremlin will not discuss giving up the occupied territories.

Points of attention

  • Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov declared that Russia will not discuss giving up occupied territories in peace negotiations with Ukraine, sparking controversy.
  • Lavrov accuses Ukraine of terrorist acts in the occupied regions and questions the need for territorial concessions amidst alleged atrocities committed by Ukrainian forces.
  • The statement highlights the ongoing tensions between Russia and Ukraine, with Lavrov emphasizing Moscow's stance on territorial integrity.

Russia is not going to leave the TOT of Ukraine

Putin's aide said this on February 17 at a press conference in Moscow.

He repeated traditional Kremlin narratives about the alleged oppression of Russian-speakers in Ukraine.

Look at the atrocities they are committing in the territories, and you want even some thought to be present at the settlement negotiations about whether some territories still need to be ceded? How should they be ceded — with Russians or without people, with only rare earth metals?

At the same time, he noted that Russia does not rule out US participation in the settlement in Ukraine, effectively calling the States a party to the war.

"We do not hide that such assistance is entirely possible, especially since the US has played a major role in the Ukrainian crisis from the beginning," the Russian diplomat falsely said.
