Original Title: Zelenskyy: ‘If Ukraine falls, Putin will surely go further. What will the United States of America do when Putin reaches the Baltic states? When he reaches the Polish border? We have a lot of gratitude. What else must Ukraine do for everyone to measure our huge gratitude? We are dying in this war.’
This is the best summary I could come up with:
U.S. officials tell us that over nearly 600 days, almost half a million troops have been killed or wounded—both sides, all together—part of the cost, so far, of Vladimir Putin’s unprovoked invasion.
Scott Pelley: The United States has contributed about $70 billion to your war effort, and I wonder if you expect that level of support to continue?
Ruined cities, millions of refugees, untold thousands of dead, all for Vladimir Putin’s nation-building vanity.
Zelenskyy (translated): We need to liberate our territory as much as possible and move forward, even if it’s less than [half a mile or] a hundred [yards] we must do it.
If the front is stationary, Ukrainian drones have vaulted into Russia itself, hitting the Kremlin, warplanes and Moscow high rises.
Pelley: Mr. President, in traveling around Ukraine for the last year and a half we spoke to people in bombed-out schools in Chernihiv, we’ve seen destroyed apartment blocks in Borodyanka, a bombed hospital in Izium, civilians in a mass grave in Bucha.
