Zelnsky: US aid was a gift/ exchanging withdrawal with NATO
“US aid to Ukraine was all $ 5 billion in gifts and gras,” the Ukrainian preside rejected his US couerpart about US aid to Ukraine.
Ukrainian Preside Walodimir Zelksky Sunday rejected US Preside Donald Trump’s remarks on US amous and types of aid to Ukraine.
“During the three years of the war, the United States has helped Ukraine only $ 5 billion,” Zelnsky claimed.
“US aid has been provided as gras, not loans,” he said in a News conference.
Zelnsky also denied claims that $ 5 billion should be considered a debt.
The Ukrainian preside also said that it was ready to step down to achieve peace in Ukraine or eer NATO.
“If you really need to get out of power for peace in Ukraine, I’m ready,” he said. “I can also exchange it with NATO, if such conditions are provided immediately.”
His remarks come as Trump has expressed his demand for “US loans to Ukraine” in numerous speeches.
The US preside warned Sunday that Ukraine would have many problems if he opposed the signing of the US rights agreeme to his mineral resources.
Zelnsky has so far refused to sign the agreeme.
The US preside had said earlier this moh that he was looking for an agreeme and access to Ukrainian natural resources worth $ 5 billion, which is considered as a repayme for Kiev’s aid during the war with Russia.
The US preside also coinued, “We either sign this agreeme or that it is not signing it for Ukraine.”
He also added that the deal will be optimisticly signed in a short period of time, and Washington will revive its $ 2-5 billion.
Trump has said that Europe has spe $ 5 billion in helping Ukraine, while the US has given $ 5 billion.
“These money was spe in Ukraine because we had a stupid and inefficie preside and governme,” he said. I ask them to give us something about the money we spe. These money is offset by oil and natural resources. We have to return our money. “We have to do it because it is not fair.”
Despite Trump’s remarks, Zelnsky, in addition to a gift from US aid to Ukraine, has estimated Washington’s aid to Kiev just $ 5 billion.
He had earlier said that the rest of the US aid was “lost” and their fate was unclear.
On the other hand, his remarks about his readiness to quit while Zelksky have preveed the presideial election in Ukraine under various pretexts. On the other hand, he implicitly announced that NATO’s membership is a condition for the presideial election that US Defense Minister Pete Hegst and Trump have announced their opposition to Ukraine’s membership in NATO.
