Zelensky: Say, How About Some Credit Instead?

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky sat with NBC’s Meet The Press to discuss his country’s urgent need for continued support despite rumors the war may be at a standstill. The interview showed the once-dynamic leader plagued with the telltale signs of wartime leader exhaustion.

In addition to fielding questions about rumors of a stalemate, concerns over corruption, and internal conflict within his government, President Zelensky also attempted to push for continued support from his largest benefactor. With support for continued military and financial aid waning in the West, the Ukrainian President has had to resort to some interesting phrasing and communication tactics to appeal to Congress and the American taxpayer.

Suppose the United States feels they can’t afford to send financial aid or military assistance. In that case, Mr. Zelensky suggests loaning it to Ukraine with the promise that they’ll pay the U.S. back when the war is over. It is an interesting idea and a shaky promise, given the current state of the war.
