I agree the world is too slow ,how many must die

7:44 for me, Ukraine reminds me a lot of the situation of Czechoslovakia or Poland just prior to the second World War. Yes, people can look away, but any fight against tyranny that is not fought together only strengthens the tyranny.

I love Ukraine n pre. Jelensky ❤

[@shredgardener9231]

Engel wouldn't have asked these type of questions if the west isn't so hesitant to give them what they need to win the war.

Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦 You and your people are heroes. I hope you get all the help you need as soon as possible.

If you support Zelenskyy and the Ukrainians, you have to vote for Democrats and Biden.

"They believe destruction is an achievement"-Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

[@lisa_gay]

That is truly the most horrifying sentence I'd ever heard. How does one defeat that mindset????

[@panrmk]

Great interview, Richard

[@vacziimre]

Very tired. I have a great sympathy with him, wish him and Ukrainan people good luck and success! Russians, go home!

[@elbibwen3019]

Russians are home - great majority in eastern Ukraine is populated by Russian ethnic people - educate yourself

[@Alika-nt5vj]

I wish strength and courage to the Ukrainian people!

[@michaelkemp3358]

[@PaulS933]

Give Ukraine 🇺🇦 all they need!!!

[@colinobrien3806]

why is it taking so long to provide that country with air power ? the ukrainian counterofffensive has started and the afu are starting to bleed because of the offensive stance they have to hold where is the support that everyone rants about that they need this minute ? like today they need it not next year ... never in my life have i heard so much talk about an f-16 or a gripen and the war will be over by the time a ukrainian flys one its ridiculous

[@prabhakararaoaravapalli9050]

Do not worry about the Republicans not in favour of more aid to Ukraine .. Not Zelensky fully impressed Biden and getting best suppoert ... In case Republicans win in 2024 , Zelensky will manage their support at that time .... Do not forget that Zelensky is a good actor ! He will play accordingly ..

[@rhea7756]

Not because he is a good actor, but he is a good dedicated person

[@arselenebitara1356]

Great insight from this interview. Respect and salute to Pres. Zelensky. Slava Ukraine!

[@MarkM001]

"For as long as it takes!" The west needs to stand by those words!

[@chuckkottke]

I would let Ukraine join NATO today, the whole purpose of NATO is to protect all free people from totalitarian regimes and their murderous militaries. 🇺🇦✳️✳️✳️🇺🇲 Onward to Victory ✌️ 🗽
