Zelensky: “The longer this war lasts, the greater will be the price of protecting freedom not only for Ukraine, but also for the whole free world. Therefore the supply of heavy weapons to Ukraine — MLRS, tanks, and other weapons — is the best investment in maintaining stability.”

Zelensky thanks Biden and the American people for HIMARS and other weapons. Western arms help save Ukrainian lives everyday, he says. He also says Ukrainian forces have had “some success” in battle for Severdonetsk but “too early to tell” if it’ll make a difference there.

!! President Zelensky just published this photo of Viktor Medvedchuk, Putin pal and Ukrainian pro-Russian politician, cuffed and dressed in Ukrainian uniform. He says the security service nabbed him in a “special operation.” He had been on the run after breaking house arrest.

🙄🙄🙄 Not a single thing RFK says here is even remotely accurate. -Not “the” Ukraine. -US didn’t “push” Ukraine into war twice; Russia invaded twice. -Zelensky didn’t run on or sign Minsk 2. -Minsk 2 wasn’t 2019 or 2022; it was 2015. -Putin didn’t withdraw troops, he sent more.
