In an interview with Fox News and broadcast this Tuesday, November 19, the Ukrainian president believes that his country will not be able to win the war against Russia if the United States decides to stop its military and financial aid to kyiv.
A thousand days after the start of the war in Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky warns Washington. While Donald Trump will return to the White House in January, the continuation of military aid from the United States to kyiv seems more than ever in question. If the future tenant of the White House decides to stop this aid, “I think we will lose”, warned the Ukrainian president to Fox News this Tuesday, November 19.
“If they cut (the aid), I think we will lose. Of course, we will stay, we will fight (…) but I think it is not enough to survive,” summarizes Volodymyr Zelensky.
Risk of escalation
During his campaign, Donald Trump repeatedly promised to quickly end the war, without specifying how.
This Monday, Donald Trump’s bodyguards denounced an “escalation” or even a risk of “world war three” after Joe Biden’s decision to authorize Ukraine to strike on Russian territory with long-range American-made missiles.
After the announcement of this green light this Sunday, the Ukrainian attack on Tuesday morning, according to Moscow, targeted military installations.
Sergei Lavrov judged, on the sidelines of the G20 in Rio, that this sent “a signal” that Ukraine and the West “want escalation”. This is “a new phase in the Western war against Russia and we will react accordingly,” he insisted.
For him, these precise missiles supplied by the United States cannot be used by kyiv “without the help of American experts and instructors.”
In response, Segeï Lavrov invited Westerners to “read the entirety” of the new Russian nuclear doctrine, made official this Tuesday by Vladimir Putin, which broadens the possibility of using atomic weapons in the event of a “massive” attack. by a non-nuclear country but supported by a nuclear power. A clear reference to Ukraine and the United States.
