According to RIA Novosti on December 13, citing the Washington Post, Ukraine** Zelensky admitted that without the help of the United States, the Ukrainian army would have to surrender territory to the Russian army.
According to the report, "Zelenskyy told US lawmakers that Ukraine would never surrender in a battle with Russian troops, but he warned that without more assistance, the conflict would be much more tragic, as the Ukrainian army would inevitably cede territory to a purposeful and well-equipped enemy."
It is noted that Zelensky failed to convince the US Congress of the need to provide Kyiv with tens of billions of dollars in additional aid.
According to the report, because the Republicans in the US Senate blocked the White House's request for more funds for Ukraine, Ukraine arrived in Washington a few days ago for negotiations. At the same time, the US House of Representatives is in no hurry to approve the relevant draft.
According to a previous report by the US "Capitol Hill", Ukrainian ** Zelensky left Washington, but he only received verbal support from Biden and congressional Democrats and Republicans in the United States, and failed to break the impasse in the US Congress delaying the provision of large aid funds to Ukraine.
Biden reportedly approved only $200 million worth of new military aid during Zelenskyy's visit. (Compiled by Li Ran).
