Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reveals the army needs nearly 500,000 people to mobilize for fighting before U.S. aid runs out. NBC News’ Ellison Barber reports on how the U.S. will not be able to send much-needed support to Ukraine unless Congress approves additional aid before the end of the year.

#Ukraine #Zelenskyy #Russia
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 go home Zelensky (wherever “home” is for you)! NO BEGGING! NO MORE MONEY FOR YOU!
Do you people understand that Russia will not just stop at Ukraine? you guys are complaining about sending aid to Ukraine but if Ukraine loses this war…. It will eventually be our problem again, especially if they stupidly attack a NATO protected country then we will be forced to send our troops over there….I understand we are in a recession, food is expensive, etc but half you commenting couldn’t even fathom what Ukrainians are going through….imagine your child being stolen from you by soldiers, artillery raining down on homes, hospitals.
As an American it absolutely breaks my heart how many people are against helping when we promised Ukraine we would help protect them… Russia has always been our enemy…. Don’t complain about our government helping Ukraine when you are ordering your 8 dollar cup of coffee in the safety of your own home country. Ukraine can’t even live in peace without Russia breaking again another peace agreement. SMFH
Ukraine is out of young men. They need the US to get directly involved. They need young Americans to fight shoulder to shoulder. Unfortunately the US doesn’t have much of an Army either nowadays. It would have to start drafting hundreds of thousands immediately. I’ve instructed my sons on what to do when that happens. Let’s just say they’d be on plans headed very far south!
Does this former comedian know that military age males are bribing tbeir way out of Ukraine? Feigning medical reasons to disqualify from military service?😂😂😂
Funny how the narrative never includes the fact we are paying Ukraine officials salaries and pensions. Hopefully this will contribute to the final eye opening America is having that Biden is not only the worst President in US history, but that he put America last
UN Ask for No fire Holidays 🎄
How about other European countries help out
Thanks to the US’s meddling, Ukraine is now the poorest country in Europe with an unprecedented migration crisis, has lost between 200,000 and 500,000 young men in combat, with as many maimed, has lost 1/3 of it’s territory, including prime agricultural lands.
it may be dangerous to be America’s enemy, but to be America’s friend is fatal – Henry Kissenger
There’s no way America will leave you. America will continue to help you fight, by constantly encouraging Zalenski to oppose colonialism, to oppose injustice from your Ukrainian neighbors or brothers because that is the spirit of peace from their government which has been proven real.
If you continue to support the clown. It will more and more and more homeless in USA 🇺🇸
Imagine if that $100 billions is given to every American in needs we wouldn’t have homeless and poverty.
Biden needs to stop sanding money , we need it to
This is not about democracy because US and West were never concerned about spreading democracy. This war is about Zelensky’s own interest and the Israeli agenda.
Take some of the $650,000 of Russian that is held in the United States
Putin lies with every chance
Russians are in the war or making weapons in factories that’s why employment is high
50 years from now Zelensky will be seen as a traitor to all of Ukraine for allowing so many Ukrainian men to be slaughtered
ITS OVER !!
Too bad the Democrats refuse to secure our own border.
Ukraine’s President Zelensky again complained that the world’s focus has been taken off supporting his country’s struggle due in large part to the events in Israel and Gaza.
We can’t let Putin win – Send your own soldiers in, If it’s so important.
things will start to crumble pmsl so funny
People need to understand that foreign policy starting with Ukraine 🇺🇦 has economic benefits to us well beyond the war for decades to come.
Yeah.. BRICS standup more firmly after this conflict.. hmm benefit ? as far as i know asian and african countries are trying harder to get out of EU market.
I used to read in comment section .” Slava Ukraine”…no more??????????
US escalated conflicts to sell their toys.. US already achieved their goals, they got tons military contracts out of this conflict.. Small Puppet NATO countries got nothing but a colder winter, what a bunch of idiots.. europe o europe..
Let republicans take the blame for the fall of Ukraine later then…..there is still 11months away from election
But but but Ukraine is winning 😂
The US border is more important than the Ukrainian.
How nato expect Ukraine to win this war if you fail to prepare then prepare to fail
URGENT!!!! Guys, I just wanted to let you know that Jesus is coming soon for those who truly believe in Him and will bring them to safety in heaven. Jesus is the son of God, our Lord and Savior. He chose to suffer and die on the cross, saving us from our sins and eternal death. Believe in Jesus with a genuine heart and receive eternal life from God before its too late. Time is running out. The world is falling apart and hardship is about to begin. Please dont get left behind. JESUS LOVES YOU SO MUCH!
After 20+ years of supporting Ukranian, The USA will then help Russia rebuild it. It always turns out this way and US politicians continue doing the same over and over expecting a different result.
Every politician who wants yo fight Russia should go to the front lines .. zelensky is a loser cant wait for the military collapse wake up people its all lies .
Trump wanted about 20 billion dollars over 10 years to secure our southern border but Congress said that’s too much, we can’t afford it. And then we give Ukraine 100 billon within 2 years to protect their border.
Our Government is a swamp full of fools and Democrats are the biggest fools of all.
US should spend another 550 billion dollars in Ukraine to fight proxies wars with Russia to the end ,because Ukraine fight for maintain US hegemony empire
Makes me want to go
Can we fly all the single men crossing our southern border to Ukraine?
Back in London, my English mates at work would laugh at Zelensky in the news thinking he could fight Russia with all that foreign aid and weapons. These dudes were professionals working at Heathrow, a few ex-military from GWOT. As much as they disliked the Russians, even they knew it was a failure from the beginning. In terms of heavy munitions, not a country on this planet and combined would ever match Russia in sheer volume, they would say. And they were right.
I’m sure they would of said the exact same thing about Afghanistan. The Russians want to go back home, so do the Ukrainians. Strongest army in the world can’t win if the soldiers get sick of fighting. And as America found out the hard way the ppl who want their land and home back will fight a lot longer then those who are invading for a reason they still can’t even agree upon 2 years later. The invasions is the easiest part, controlling a country that wants to be free for the next few generations is gonna be the hard part
Send them Hunter and no money
No more aid to Zelensky, no more money. Stop the war.
Big question is what will it take to bring down Putin Mr. President?
Russian President Vladimir Putin is the geopolitical winner of the year as Ukraine’s war effort stalls and Moscow’s economy continues to withstand failed Western sanctions, according to Gerard Banker, The Wall Street Journal’s editor at large.
Go back to the front Zelensky, you’ve stolen enough money
#ArmUkraineAsap
Russia and America should be allies . America can win every battle and lose a war. Russia can lose every battle and win a war. Together we would be unstoppable.
Hey but Ukraine is winning and Russia is out of missiles and the counteroffensive was gaining momentum 🤣🤣🤣
And Russia is still toying with Ukraine 🤣🤣🤣
The cost of not supplying Ukraine with what is needed has already resulted in missed opportunities. Ukraine will fight on because the alternative is unthinkable.
Zelensky should be in mental hospital or send and fight his war!!!
yes negotiations is unthinkable; i don’t understand why ukraine won’t let the eastern regions turn into their own republics.
Stop aiding those people when will we. Learn it’s us who is fighting the war not Ukraine the u.s is the founder
Don’t fight if the price is too high give it up don’t listen too zalensky they will fail the Russians are formidable
One nation fighting against a entire set of nations stop creating so many enemies we need too give the people a time of true peace an prosperity
Tell zelenski to sing O’Canada !!!!
the united states either helps ukraine with aid to defeat russia now in ukraine,or the united states sends her sons and daughters to fight russia in some other east europe country later….russia only respects strength…..
Please consider replying to this poll. Question #1: If Ukraine is unable to muster enough military manpower to win, should the US deploy combat forces (ground, air, and maritime) to assist in ejecting Russian forces from Ukraine? Thumbs up = YES. Thumbs down = NO.
So Zelenskyy and his officials lied over the summer when they said they were breaking through Russian defenses?
The only way Ukraine has a chance is if NATO directly intervenes.
Meanwhile instead of degrading Russia Europe and the US is being degraded 😂😂😂
No matter how much the clown begs, they’ll still lose.
President Biden, NATO leaders, when, in your righteous might, will you say “enough is enough?” When are you going to say to Russia “No More”? President Biden, when will you commit to helping Ukraine until they WIN this war initiated by Russia? President Biden, NATO Leaders, Russia destroyed the Kakhovka HPP, Russia is holding Europe hostage with the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant, Russia was claiming a pirate’s ownership of the Black SEA, Russia is bombing civilian populations across Ukraine nightly. Ukraine needs F-16’s, A10 Thunderbolts, ATACMS, Black hawks, mine clearing equipment and more Abrams tanks.. You can support Israel in 10 minutes Israel and Hamas have been fighting for ever. Hamas is not a threat to world-wide democracy. Russia threatens the world’s freedom. The USA does not, after 80 years of Russian lies, more lies, and more lies , understand that Putin will never stop lying to the world. Ukraine is in a deadlock with the Russian aggressor and not a stalemate. USA immigration issues verses support for Ukraine? This is the USA’s government at it’s most shameful representation of supporting world democracy and freedom. If you agree with this statement, copy and send it to your congressmen.
The reason that Russia’s unemployment rate is down in Russia is because a huge number of employable people left the Russia to avoid mobilization.
Not only the Ukraine side that is suffering from war fatigue. NATO countries and the US have seen a fall in public support for Zelensky and growing objection to increasing military and financial assistance to Ukraine for what also appears a corrupt ridden and lost cause.
From the Russian side, Putin has emerged more confident than ever. In the initial days after the disorder in the Wagner forces under Prigozhin in June 2023, Western media had played up the news that Putin had been severely, perhaps fatally, weakened. But that turned out to be Western spin.
This is part of the same Western and allied Asian media spin used against President Xi of China and other Third World leaders that do not toe the US line.
I wonder why they they need another 500,000 when they are supposed to be winning?
They not winning. That’s the point. The media lie to you.
Mr Professor nobody was hoping for Ukraine to survive at the first place so your comment about another 50B next year not being enough is a joke 😅.
Ukraine is already one of the best equipped armies in the Europe and they’re holding the hordes of russian animals pretty well in the limits
They need to surrender and survive! We need to stop wasting pur taxes on other nations wars!
The democrats needs to pass a bill to deport trump supporters to fight for Ukraine.
70% of the military hatdware supply to Ukraine is end up on the bkack market
Very OWN Opinion ONLY. Re : Fights for MORE AIDS. Guess (ONLY) That the st-p-d Comedian of Ukraine & His Master. Will DO Everything to make the Conflict as Long as it CAN. So that, the Millions & BILLIONS worth of. $ £. &. €. MONEY supports for the st-p-d Comedian. FROM His also St-p-d (NOT ALL) supporters will NOT stop. In favor to all those Benefiting from it by CORRUPTIONS. So very very very very SORRY JUST SAYING ONLY based on News Media REPORTS. GOOD LUCK. Ty…….
So Ukraine had no money yet it wanted war, now the money laundering is coming to an end. I hope the next us president probes Biden
Let the. Russian frozen assets be sent to aide Ukraine!! Send the f16’s. Hungary shouldn’t have to be bought off!!
There is no one to fly any F16’s. Ukraine is out of man power zinc has lost Biden’s proxy war but he won’t admit it. Any F16’s would get shot down. Russia is powerful
Hahahaha
I believe you are proven fake media. Your speaker talk no substance except only from his mouth.
Russia make mistake.and support some organizations. So the war never stop continue.
Zekensky could make a lot of money selling US weapons in arms deals right now
China and Russia see the weakness point of the EU and the West but the West and EU don’t see the the point that Russia and China want to win the Uklain.
China and Russia had the biggest plan to control the largest Economy. Russia want to cobtrol the Uklain land all the way through the DNIEPER RIVER then China and Russia will build the longest railroad from China through the Dnieper river to Russia then from Russia to EU Countries.
But right now China just waiting for Russia win and control the land of Uklain all the way through DNIEPER then China will take action.
The West and EU never ever see the darkness plan of China and Russia. So,China and Russia know that the only one way to win all white Countries they must control more land and more countries and more Ocean on this earth.
Because they know there will be other earth like this earth any more. China want to control the railroad fron South east Asia all the way through EU countries.
China and Russia know that the biggest problem of the EU and the West are money. Because. China and Russia know that every single war in past EU and the West all lose because the had the money problem in thier Country.
But China and Russia know that the more land they control then the more money they will print out because money came from the trees.
Hopfully EU will wake up before it was to late.
Man…. They are not in nato…. STOP FUNDING
Putin you loose
Protect our border before protecting the border of other country.
Ukraine losing 800 troops a day – ex-NATO officer
Kiev’s manpower is “significantly worn out” as Russia’s “strategy of attrition” is taking effect, a former German Air Force Colonel has said
Great way of depleting our WALLETS 🤬
Ukraine has lost there is no way they can defeat Russia. Poor Ukranians are used only as cannon fodder by NATO to weaken Russia which has not happened, in vice versa Russia´s military is getting more experienced and stronger and “mighty” NATO weapons burn in the steppes of Donbass.
How the Media is Milking the news for Views on YouTube.
War is already over. Russia has won. Just like how the USA toke over California from Mexico..
I think its really funny that after 40 years of Republicans pretending to be pro-military and Pro- defense, and trying to paint Democrats as weak. That when it comes time to REALLY defending this country, they turn out to be WUSSES like Trump. He said it ALL when he called all those fallen hero’s in Arlington Cemetary, “SUCKERS”! And said ” I dont get it… what was in it for THEM?”. Which means that, not only was he a draft dodging punk, but he literally couldnt imagine, in his pampered little richmans brain, what a PATRIOT was or why they would die for their country! Only a SUCKER would do that! Republicans- LOL
Sadly, there are some idiots in U.S still contributing for Ukraine 😂
Diktator Zelenskij👎👎
We not going help
Каждый хочет быть холоивуд хаус я подожду сзади чтобы уничтожить под ноль
I’m outraged by our government! We could give any weapon to ukraine. The amount of ammo deemed expired is ammo that could be given and would cost us nothing! Infact, it cost the u.s tax payers would pay more money to disarm them than to give and ship those weapons to ukraine!!!!! Shame, shame, shame,….and joe Biden’s …..sentiments about his catholic faith and family! Pff, im disgusted….does he really care about people…or russia taking whatever he wants….its disgusting we watch people die because u.s wants it to draw russia down and not the people of ukraines lives….all our news and papers have a idea to post…..lots of conspiracies and blah, blah, blah…..dont bother to invest in another country like ukraine….and dont let u.s citizens have a job…..
In order to bake a cake you have to have all of the ingredients.
Everyday news is saying Ukraine is winning and Russia is Bankrupt so what happen???
Not another nickel. Foreign meddling on borrowed money when you’re $34 trillion in debt is INSANITY!!!
There has been plenty of times i have driven from state to state one state comes to mined G.A for those who know and seen under some of these overpasses i see plenty of folk living under bridges that could use just a fraction of what has been sent to other countries that could be used right here the good ol USA. I’m just sayen.🎅
More fighters your motherland has them buddy
No more money
Soon Zelenskie & Co will flee
Considering that I don’t wanna personally fight in world war three I’m 100% behind giving them more money
beggars keep begging
This is a war Ukraine can’t win. Ukraine is playing the part by proxy for the US as Hamas is for Iran. Can you confirm what news is saying as to the money received being used to pay wages? Not just the soldiers but the workforce in Ukraine?
US WONT SUPORT YOU zielinski dont call as we call you
The clown doing more begging
Let it run out. Let them fight their own war. They need help desperately? The AMERICAN people need help. The price of living and gas are so high in Washington state. Why are our hard working tax payer dollars going to this country. It’s not our fight to fight, if they fall into Putin’s hands, let it be.
Conscript, draft, women, you have fighters.
Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦🇺🇸
