Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has warned that Ukraine has little chance of surviving Russia’s assault without U.S. support. His remarks come after phone calls between U.S. President Donald Trump, Zelensky, and Russian President Vladimir Putin earlier this week.
Zelenskyy made the statement during an interview with NBC’s "Meet the Press with Kristen Welker," set to air in full on Sunday. An excerpt released on Friday revealed his concerns about Ukraine’s ability to withstand Russia’s offensive without continued American assistance.
"Probably it will be very, very, very difficult. And of course, in all the difficult situations, you have a chance. But we will have low chance—low chance to survive without support of the United States," Zelenskyy said.
His comments come amid uncertainty over U.S. military aid, with Trump pushing European allies to take on more of the financial burden. The former president has suggested that Washington should reassess its commitments, while critics argue that scaling back support could embolden Moscow.
Meanwhile, Trump held separate phone calls with both Zelenskyy and Putin earlier this week, though details of the discussions remain undisclosed. His administration has yet to confirm any policy shifts regarding Ukraine.
With Ukraine’s war effort heavily reliant on Western backing, Zelenskyy’s plea underscores Kyiv’s fears of a potential reduction in U.S. support.
