Ukraine President Zelenskyy threatens Western countries: If you stop weapons supply, millions of Ukrainians living in your countries may go violent

On September 10, in an exclusive interview with the British weekly The Economist, Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy indicated that the country would never compromise with Russian President Vladimir Putin and that the war will continue for as long as Russia remains on Ukrainian territory.

“A negotiated deal would not be permanent. The Russian president has a habit of creating frozen conflicts on Russia’s borders (in Georgia, for example), not as ends in themselves but because his goal is to restore the Soviet Union. The mistake is not diplomacy. The mistake is diplomacy with Putin. He negotiates only with himself,” the Ukrainian President was quoted as saying.

He added that cutting help to Ukraine would only prolong the conflict and it would put the West in danger in its own backyard. He also added that it is impossible to foresee how millions of Ukrainian refugees in European countries will respond if their country is abandoned.

“Ukrainians have generally behaved well and are very grateful to those who sheltered them. They will not forget that generosity. But it would not be a good story for Europe if it were to drive these people into a corner,” Zelenskyy stated.

The president of Ukraine has consistently outperformed Western politicians in his ability to win over the Western public. He continues to feel that “the greatest method to persuade governments is to push them through the media.”

“People read, people discuss, people make up their minds and people push. It was public opinion that drove politicians to increase arms supplies to Ukraine in the early days of the war. Scaling down that help may anger not just Ukrainians but also Western voters. They will start asking what the whole effort was for. People will not forgive if they lose Ukraine,” Zelenskyy was quoted as saying.

Recently, As Russian missiles killed a police officer in the Ukrainian president’s hometown, Volodymyr Zelenskyy urged foreign leaders to ‘resume’ their sanctions drive against Moscow. He said allies had relaxed sanctions against Moscow and urged for more pressure on the Kremlin’s finances.

“Currently, we see a prolonged sanctions pause from our partners, and Russia’s overly active attempts to circumvent the sanctions. This world’s sanctions offensive must resume,” Zelenskyy said.

At least he understands clearly why Ukraine won’t be admitted into NATO anytime soon.

To the Ukrainian MI6 clown child. The West has run out and yes they raided their cupboards. They do not have a manufacturing base that is sufficient for a little war, like yours.
The U.S. deconstructed the majority of its munition plants after WW2. I grew up in a small Wisconsin town that had a munitions plant. All that is left are roads, gates, a few minor buildings. Everything for actual production is gone. Then they would most likely need to rebuild the supply and infrastructure to supply such plants. Are fabulous long term deep thinking leaders... Oh wait, we don’t have those.
Not to worry sir(?), you will most likely get billions more $ for you and your faithful patrons, for such things like estates in Italy for your mom. Sure, then it’s not yours. Oh ya, hopium, you will get lots of that.

Sure, US cannot upscale production.

The U.S. plans to increase monthly production of 155 millimeter artillery shells over the coming years to 100,000 in 2025, the Pentagon's chief weapons buyer said on Friday. "We're going to be at 100,000 per month in 2025

Right... every little, pipsqueak representing some BS ‘nation’ with a peanut economy gets to openly threaten the US, now?

Uhm... the millions have already abandoned their own Country. Why don't they come back home and fight for it?

“We want everyone on FR to post whether or not they’re in favor of Zelensky’s threats of terrorism”

“The bombing of Kiev begins in five minutes.”

That's a Hell of a good quote and a Hell of a good idea, however the participating US and Russian aircraft should fly at considerably different altitudes.

Frickin' Nazis, violence is all they understand.

I'm beginning to change my mind....Go Putin!

Oh, there are a couple here who may not specifically be UKR outcasts but they do act like it - even worse, IMO. I can wholly imagine them going ballistic and retaliatory under the right circumstances.

Yep....I’m beginning to think there were dozens of biolabs there operating in US interests which would be against the law here in the US.

Threatening the US with an undetermined number of what could be conceived as expatriated UKR saboteurs given his threat isn’t the “right thing” to me.

Threatening America and the American people is the “right thing to do?”

There are one or two on FR that will definitely go violent...probably start using multiple exclamation marks and calling Freepers Ukrainophobes.

Must be getting to be real serious over there.

Generally, this type of whining doesnt happen until they get down to the last minute.

Little bastard.

BTW.it is confirmed. My contact in eastern Europe informed me that the Ukies had gangs running around in eastern countries gathering up people who had fled THE..Ukraine to send them back to fight. According to that person, they tell them either go back and fight or your family left behind disappears.
They had asked european countries to send them back and were denied.

Its 2023, unless they moth balled some of their presses, dies and other various things. Shells by 2025, won’t matter one iota. Will Ukraine resort to catapults?
