'The world's fault': Zelenskyy speaks out amid Russian assault
ABC News ^ | May 16, 2024 | James Longman and Oleksiy Pshemyskiy

The situation in Ukraine is so serious that President Volodymyr Zelenskyy had to cancel a planned trip to Spain and come straight to Kharkiv -- the country’s second largest city, which is again in real danger from the Russian advance.

With exclusive access, ABC News joined Zelenskyy on a tour of a hospital in the city, with Zelenskyy, where he met soldiers injured in the northern defense, and presented them with medals of valor.

“It’s really important for me to be here,” he told us, as we walked the corridors.

In each ward, he stopped as an officer read out the names of each injured soldier. He approached each bed and presented them with a medal. But this was a very rushed visit. The president’s safety is always a concern, but this trip to Kharkiv was a risk and his team moved quickly around the building.

“The situation is very serious,” Zelenskyy said. “We cannot afford to lose Kharkiv.”

As he stood near the injured soldiers, he was very clear that the delay in U.S. aid has had a direct impact on the war, and the situation along the northeastern border. Hundreds had lost their lives or been wounded in the last few days, he said. Many were soldiers from this region, so it was important for him to be there, supporting them, he said.

Is it America’s fault, we asked him, what’s happening now in Kharkiv?

"“It’s the world’s fault,” he replied. “They gave the opportunity for Putin to occupy. But now the world can help.""

“It’s the world’s fault,” he replied. “They gave the opportunity for Putin to occupy. But now the world can help."

“Everybody geev me monny. Not just the U.S. and Europe. Everybody.

You know he’s serious. He’s wearing a black T shirt now instead of the olive green.

“Dumb a** should have made a deal two years ago. Put in a damn line like Korea...and stop this cr**.”

Even better to build up forces to later reverse Putin’s misadventure. (Irritrievably tied to the stolen 2020 election).

At 1:42 minute mark, Zelensky said that it’s diffult and brigades are not totally equipped due to the 8 month delay in America’s foreign aid package.

At the 1:50 minute mark in the video, ABC’s reporter asked, “What’s happening in Karkiv right now, is this America’s fault?” and Z said it was the world’s fault because the world gave Putin the possibility to occupy the Ukraine.

At the 2:17 minute mark, Z says all it would take is two Patriot batteries to protect the area and in a followup statement said he’s been waiting for them for a year.

He is shown given medals of honor to wounded in a hospital, and there must be many conscripts in those beds who hate him, but they can’t get away and they can’t refuse a medal, right?

Then he would have had to hold elections. Can't have that can we?

If the country were really in danger, he would have kept on going to Spain or one of his other bolt-holes, not Kharkov.

On to Kiev! Make America Solvent Again.

St Z becomes an illegitimate President on May 21st. Many countries realize this, he won’t be traveling much after that.

Is it the world’s fault you and your country are the epicenter of corruption?

It's not like they didn't steal the money they were given specifically to build defenses in the region. If he wants to blame people he should start with himself. He can also blame the idiots in NATO for making him think he could win a war against Russia. He chose to rely on a bunch of jerk-offs like Biden.
