Current US President Joe Biden made a statement about the war in Ukraine after a conversation with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. He believes that there is a real chance that Ukrainians can win.

“I had a long talk with Zelenskyy today. And I think that as long as we continue to keep Western Europe united as it relates to Ukraine, there is a real chance that the Ukrainians can prevail,” he said.

Because the price of participation in the war for Russia is “incredibly high.”

“Over six hundred some thousand dead or wounded. The Koreans they brought in are having high mortality rate as well,” he added.

The US President said he made it clear to provide all the necessary funds to Ukraine that he had the authority as president.

“And I know that there are a significant number of Democrats and Republicans on the hill who think we should continue to support Ukraine,” he summarized.
