President Volodymyr Zelensky held a press conference in Kyiv, answering questions and addressing Americans with concerns.
Zelensky began by thanking Americans for showing support to Ukraine and said he believed withdrawing or decreasing support could hypothetically have an impact on their children, should Russia win the war as a result.
The Twitter-verse went NUTS when a snippet of Zelensky went viral, garnering over 3.5 million views. According to the video, Zelensky states that “The US will have to send their sons and daughters to war, and they will be dying.”
People took to Twitter to share their rage and disbelief at how Zelensky could say such a thing.
Some responses via Twitter:
Here is Zelensky’s exact words.
I still find them troublesome.
While he has every right to scare people into thinking about hypotheticals that *could* result in American men & women going to war, we have every right to criticize him for hyping more war.
We need a peace plan! https://t.co/iysMnxuJ7y

Zelensky says he needs people to fight his war, here's a thought, all those illegals crossing our border, instead of loading them on planes sending them all over the US. Send the planes to Ukraine.

I will NOT send my young boys to die so Zelensky and the other corrupt, psychopath globalists can launder US Taxpayer dollars and buy their 5th mansion, seek more power and kill more American children with their Ukrainian-made bioweapons. Hell to the fuck naw!

Dear President Zelensky…
When Americans do show in Ukraine… It'll be several hundred thousand of us who are there to get our money back that you stole… Rest assured, you'll never TOUCH our children…
This was the final straw today… Kiss our Asses!

However, the video was apparently missing context.
In the full video, Zelensky stated, “Who wants a third world war? Would anyone be willing to accept that risk? The U.S. is never going to give up on the NATO member states. If it happens so, that Ukraine, due to various opinions and weakening and depletion of assistance, loses, Russia is going to enter NATO member states and then the U.S. will have to send their sons and daughters exactly the same way we are sending their sons and daughters to war. And they will have to fight, because it is NATO we are talking about and they will be dying, God forbid, because it’s a horrible thing. I wish peace and Ukrainian support to the United States.”
With the missing context included, does this make his comment sound any better or do more questions arise?
