Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Sunday that ā€œmillions will be killedā€ in his countryā€™s war with Russia without additional funding from the United States.

CNNā€™s Kaitlan Collins asked Zelensky in an interview to respond to comments made by Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio), who claimed Ukraineā€™s outcome in its war will not be changed even if it receives the President Bidenā€™s $60 billion aid request. Zelensky said he wasnā€™t sure if Vance ā€œunderstands what is going on here.ā€

ā€œTo understand it is to come to the front line to see whatā€™s going on, to speak with the people, then to go to civilians to understand ā€¦ what will [happen to] them without this support. And he will understand that millions ā€¦ will be killed. Itā€™s a fact,ā€ Zelensky said.

    Wow, itā€™s almost like the US could do all of that at the same timeā€¦

    Allies arenā€™t cheap to earn, and if you want to not be the world police you need a lot of them.

    Or do you think that the countries that are opposed to the US would just not do anything if you sat on your hands? Or their Allies come to their aid when they needed it?
