The United States will have to choose between two options!, Zelensky Warning: If Ukraine Fails Zelensky | Ukraine | United States
According to the website of the U.S. Capitol Hill Daily, Ukrainian President Zelensky said on June 15th that if Ukraine loses to Russia, it may ultimately force the United States to make a choice between "NATO collapse" and going to war.
"If Ukraine fails, if Russia occupies Ukraine, then Russia will continue to advance towards Baltic countries, Poland, and other countries. They will go to war with a NATO country. At that time, the United States will have to choose between NATO collapse and war," Zelensky said in an interview with NBC News
The report states that the Baltic countries Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania are all members of NATO, and Poland is also a member. According to NATO's principle of collective defense, an attack on any NATO member country is considered an attack on all NATO member countries.
In response to suggestions from some Republican politicians that the United States needs to limit its spending on the Ukraine war, Zelensky mentioned the possibility of NATO being involved in the war.
According to reports, Florida Governor Ron de Santis, who announced his candidacy for the 2024 presidential election, previously referred to the Ukrainian war as a "territorial dispute" and believed that the United States should not "get further involved" in this conflict. Speaker of the House, Kevin McCarthy, also warned last autumn that the Republican majority in the House would not issue a "blank check" for aid to Ukraine.
On June 15th, Zelensky said, "Any candidate or senator who believes that the United States has paid too much to support Ukraine is prepared to go to war, participate in war, and send away their own children? Because anyway, if NATO gets involved, they will have to do so."
Zelensky said, "It's not Ukraine against Russia, but Russia against the civilized world."
According to the report, Zelensky has been seeking to obtain fighter jets, and in an interview on the 15th, he said that the lengthy process of obtaining such advanced military equipment "caused the war to drag on.".
He also said, "If we get the weapons our partners currently possess, we will win faster."
