Ukraine's President Zelenskiy states the country has a low chance of survival against Russia without US support, as discussed on NBC.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Ukraine has a low chance of surviving Russia's assault without U.S. support, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said in a interview with NBC's "Meet the Press with Kristen Welker" program.
"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 the interview. An excerpt from the program was released on Friday and the full show will be broadcast on Sunday.
His comments come after phone calls held earlier in the week by U.S. President Donald Trump with Zelenskiy and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
