Zelensky: Biden and Trump should come to Ukraine and see the tragedy on the front line

Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky asked Joe Biden and Donald Trump, the main candidates for the 2024 US presidential election, to travel to Ukraine and see “this tragedy” with their own eyes. be observers on the front lines of the war.

He said in a conversation with Fox News: I would be happy if all the candidates and decision makers or those who can support, do not oppose understanding what the war in Ukraine means.

Ukraine’s president went on to say that the candidates should go to Ukraine and see the people in the streets and said: Who started this war? what will happen? What a wonderful Ukraine we had. We have a beautiful country, but it has a different image in war.

In this conversation, in response to Trump’s controversial statement that he could end the war within 24 hours, Zelensky said: He cannot solve this problem, this tragedy.

The president of Ukraine said that he is eager to take Trump to the frontline of Ukraine and explain everything to him, as well as hear Trump’s opinions. He said: “I don’t know, maybe he has some thoughts.”

Zelensky continued: “He will see what is happening and I think he will change his mind after that… There is only one enemy and that is the position of Russian President Vladimir Putin.” >

«Putin must be weakened; Russia’s casualties are more than ours!”

He stated that Putin does not accept any weakness and is only afraid of the powerful, and said that Ukraine should become strong on the battlefield and not allow Russia to dominate the territory of this country.

Zelensky admitted that he considers overthrowing the Russian government as one of the ways to end the war, but it will be a difficult and long way. He said: If the Russian people hesitate to continue the war due to the increase in casualties, his (Putin’s) position will become weaker. This wave (of discontent) is what we need.

In response to the question of how many troops Ukraine lost in the war, he refused to give a clear answer and settled for “tens of thousands”. However, he claimed that Ukrainian casualties are less than Russian casualties, and for every Ukrainian soldier killed, five Russian soldiers are killed!

Ukraine budget freeze in US Congress

Zelensky also addressed the US Congress and said that he appreciates the efforts of the president and the Congress of this country. He said: My message is that if they want to be realistic, the price they pay for support today will be lower than in the future. They will bear a much greater cost. We just want to live, we want to survive. We have no other way.

He continued: “Congress representatives, people who have families and children; I think they know we’re just trying to save our homes and our children, and we’re saying if you think we’re fighting for common values, then help and support. Let’s be united.”

Republicans of the US Congress have opposed the approval of a 60 billion dollar support budget for this country. They have two main conditions for approving this budget; First, allocating enough funds to the domestic issues of the United States, including the security of the southern border, which is a priority compared to the security of Ukraine, and secondly, presenting a clear and concrete plan that shows that sending additional aid to Kiev can lead to Ukraine’s victory in the war.

On the other hand, European countries that did not feel the need to have the ability to produce major weapons before the start of the Ukrainian war, are now facing difficulties in producing the necessary ammunition for the Ukrainian war.

“I don’t cling to power; The military regime does not allow elections”

Zelensky also stated that the military government of Ukraine does not allow elections to be held during the war, and claimed that if the presidential elections of Ukraine are held now, he has enough support to win again.

He claimed that his order to cancel the 2024 presidential elections of Ukraine was not an attempt to stay in power and said: The issue is not that I am trying to stay in power; Because if the elections are held right now, I will win.

“When the world understands Putin’s threat, the war will end”

Ukraine’s president, in a conversation with Fox News, also emphasized that this country cannot maintain its defense power and increase its stability and economic strength without Western support; Which, if it happens, can help to increase the power of Ukraine in the manufacture of weapons. Kiev currently needs powerful weapons such as missiles and long-range artillery.

Zelensky continued: Putin has violated all the red lines. He is inadequate and a threat to the whole world. He will destroy NATO. The day the world understands this, that day the war will end.
