00:00How is Ukraine going to keep defending itself if the U.S. isn't paying for weapons anymore?
00:07What happens then?
00:08It's a very bad scenario, but I want to remind you that when Russia attacked Ukraine three
00:12years ago, and they were preparing for this war for quite a long time, they were sure
00:17that they will take Kiev in days, and all media in the world was saying this, but what
00:22had happened?
00:23They failed.
00:24And it was not thanks to the United States, with all respect, or other allies.
00:27It was Ukrainian army, with, at that moment, almost zero Western weaponry, because javelins
00:34and anvils, this is good, but it's for guerrilla fighting.
00:37But we stopped Russia with our own weapon, with our own army.
00:41From that time, yeah, we lost some territories, we lost many people, that's very painful.
00:46But we are battle-hardened today, we produce even more weapons than before, so we're stronger
00:50than we were three years ago.
00:52So we can continue to defend our country, even without U.S. support.
00:57But it is a very bad scenario, and I am sure this scenario will not happen, because it's
01:02not in the interest of both of us.
