Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky admitted that he is afraid of a possible return of Donald Trump to the White House in 2024, before begging for more American-made Patriot missile systems.
In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, President Volodymyr Zelensky admitted he has concerns about the possible re-election of Donald Trump next year, saying that he was unsure how exactly the Republican leader would have reacted had Russia invaded during his presidency.
The Ukrainian head-of-state also praised the response of the Biden administration, which has regularly handed over billions of dollars worth of weapons aid to the Eastern European nation since Moscow’s invasion began last year.
Asked how he felt about Donald Trump, Zelensky admitted that he was more comfortable with dealing with Biden and that the return of a Republican-led government could end up being difficult for his war effort.
“President Biden is the president during a full-scale war and he has been more helpful to us than President Trump,” Zelensky told the interviewer, qualifying the statement by noting that there “was no full-scale war” going on while Trump was in office.
“In a situation like this, when there is support, you are afraid of changes,” Zelensky said. “And to be honest, when you mention a change of administration, I feel the same way as anyone… You want changes for the better, but it can also be the other way around.”
He also appeared uncomfortable with Donald Trump’s claim that he would be able to negotiate a peace settlement to the Ukraine War within 24 hours, adding that the 45th American leader did not seem to care that Ukrainian territory — namely Crimea — was being “occupied” by Russia during his presidency after being illegally annexed under the Obama administration in 2014.

Good thing we sent all those patriot systems so Russia can show China how to defeat them. I’m sure keeping the Biden and Romney families rich in corrupt Uke cash is worth it.
Lets see, Trump says he will end that war quickly, but the misfit puppet running that country fears Trump will be elected? Seems a bit odd.
If the 2020 election had not been fraudulent, you would not be in war anyway...
This guy will never sign a peace deal

There are speculations about the Ukrainian Army being ready to restore Moldova’s territorial integrity by taking out the 1500 Russian soldiers stationed in Transnistria if a request comes from Moldova
Zelensky advises the Russians in Transnistria to flee if they want to live.

“Let’s see, Trump says he will end that war quickly, but the misfit puppet running that country fears Trump will be elected? Seems a bit odd.“
…as he’s more comfortable dealing with Cadaver Biden, who just keeps handing over BILLIONS of dollars - no questions asked…
Gee… I just can’t understand!…. lol!
Trump claims Zelensky was very kind and agreeable to him during the fateful call that Pelosi and the deep-state used for the ridiculous “impeachment” charges.
Since SO MUCH US deep state corruption centered around Ukraine and Ukrainian actors (from Hillary’s Crowdstrike server, to the Vindmans, to Hunter Biden), one wonders if Zelensky was aware of, and part of, the plan all along.
lol...
Trump will cut off the Money.
Russia didn’t attack Ukraine during his term and Trump would end the war quickly. The flow of American dollars would end though. That’s what scares him.
He seems to be easily bought off by promises of cash.
50/50 chance. But I think it's more likely that Putin won't invade. On the other hand, he may have thought that Trump would have been unlikely to intervene to help the Ukrainians.
I don’t think Putin would have invaded.
He would not have had the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan to indicate incompetence at the highest levels of command to inspire him.
As for money, while this administration has waved about huge numbers, I seriously doubt more than a small fraction of that is getting to Ukraine in cash. There is a big difference between pledging $XX in arms and actually delivering anything.

Good thing that Trump’s not going to be the nominee in 2024.
