ZELENSKY: ONE MORE YEAR: You could see the urgency in his face and hear it in his voice, even when it came through a translator. In an interview on NBC’s Meet the Press, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky made a desperate plea for the United States not to cut military aid before Ukraine can develop the capacity to make or buy more of its own weapons and ammunition.

“It’s almost two years. Now, initiative [is] in our hands. Yes, a lot of people, of course, in the world are tired. Of course, it’s understandable … They want to come back home to their husbands, to their soldiers, to these guys, women and children.”
