The situation in Ukraine is so serious that President Volodymyr Zelenskyy had to cancel a planned trip to Spain and come straight to Kharkiv -- the country’s second largest city, which is again in real danger from the Russian advance.
With exclusive access, ABC News joined Zelenskyy on a tour of a hospital in the city, with Zelenskyy, where he met soldiers injured in the northern defense, and presented them with medals of valor.
“It’s really important for me to be here,” he told us, as we walked the corridors.
In each ward, he stopped as an officer read out the names of each injured soldier. He approached each bed and presented them with a medal. But this was a very rushed visit. The president’s safety is always a concern, but this trip to Kharkiv was a risk and his team moved quickly around the building.
“The situation is very serious,” Zelenskyy said. “We cannot afford to lose Kharkiv.”
As he stood near the injured soldiers, he was very clear that the delay in U.S. aid has had a direct impact on the war, and the situation along the northeastern border. Hundreds had lost their lives or been wounded in the last few days, he said. Many were soldiers from this region, so it was important for him to be there, supporting them, he said.
Is it America’s fault, we asked him, what’s happening now in Kharkiv?

It’s not like you’re Israel or something....oh?!
Lets not leave out the money line, shall we?
LOL, sorry Ukes, we ain’t gonna die for ya
Wow...That's rough.
Dumb a** should have made a deal two years ago. Put in a damn line like Korea...and stop this cr**.
“Everybody geev me monny. Not just the U.S. and Europe. Everybody.”
You know he’s serious. He’s wearing a black T shirt now instead of the olive green.
“Dumb a** should have made a deal two years ago. Put in a damn line like Korea...and stop this cr**.”
Even better to build up forces to later reverse Putin’s misadventure. (Irritrievably tied to the stolen 2020 election).
Oh, poor baby had to cancel his latest begging tour vacation.
At 1:42 minute mark, Zelensky said that it’s diffult and brigades are not totally equipped due to the 8 month delay in America’s foreign aid package.
At the 1:50 minute mark in the video, ABC’s reporter asked, “What’s happening in Karkiv right now, is this America’s fault?” and Z said it was the world’s fault because the world gave Putin the possibility to occupy the Ukraine.
At the 2:17 minute mark, Z says all it would take is two Patriot batteries to protect the area and in a followup statement said he’s been waiting for them for a year.
He is shown given medals of honor to wounded in a hospital, and there must be many conscripts in those beds who hate him, but they can’t get away and they can’t refuse a medal, right?
Then he would have had to hold elections. Can't have that can we?
Resign loser. It might save your country
On to Kiev! Make America Solvent Again.
St Z becomes an illegitimate President on May 21st. Many countries realize this, he won’t be traveling much after that.
