WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Ukraine has little chance of surviving Russia's assault without U.S. support, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Friday after phone calls this week by U.S. President Donald Trump with Zelenskiy and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
"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," Zelenskiy said in an interview on the NBC News program "Meet the Press."
An excerpt was released on Friday from the interview, which will be broadcast on Sunday.
Trump discussed the war on Wednesday in separate calls with Putin and Zelenskiy, in the U.S. president's first big step toward diplomacy in a conflict he has promised to end quickly.
Trump later said he did not think it was practical for Kyiv to join NATO and that it was unlikely Ukraine would get back all its land. Russia, which annexed Crimea in 2014, launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.

So? I do not care about the Ukraine. I dojo want our people fighting there, nor should we give Ukraine more money.
Then we own it.
Zelenskiy says he has 'low chance' of survival without US backing
What? He’s got all of Europe behind him.
Get rid of the nazis once and for all and then I might care a little bit about your corrupt country. Still won’t care enough to want the US to fund your grift. While we’re at it we need to send your visa overstays back to fight for you.
Dear Vlodoblah blah blah
No one cares
Piss off

And it’s another round of ping pong between “Russia is a backwards bunch of orcs with shovels and donkeys that is on the verge of collapse” and “Send more help NOW or they will steamroll over the entire continent by Easter!”
Sorry, you didn’t say “please”.
Yup—we bought it.
We own it.
We can keep it or break it as we please.
Zelensky has consistently turned down all offers for peace talks from other countries who offered to host them.
European governments don’t fork over money
Of course I am sure very few Ukrainians saw much if money. And that includes any of that money and that includes Zelenskyy. His wife did have a $40,000 shopping trip in Paris.
Ukraine - a vital US interest since 1945 1983 1991 2014 2022 2025...
We have dropped so much stolen TAXPAYER money at this corrupt, bioweapon producing ahole it’s not even funny! The answer should be no… No more money. And doge has their next target hopefully.
I will never forget nor forgive their election interference in behalf of that hag clinton.
Let Britain and France handle it as the did in the 1850s. “Half a League onward!”
Zelensky needs to STFU> Trump has a plan
Not to worry - Liz Cheney, Bill Kristol and a gaggle of European leaders and journalists stand ready to offer Ukraine worthless advice, since they can no longer offer US arms and treasure.
