If the US Congress does not vote for a $61 billion military aid package for Ukraine, there will be no chance of winning a full-scale Russian-Ukrainian war

This was stated by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in an interview with the American broadcaster PBS, according to Babel.

"Without this help, we will have no chance to win, and you have to be much stronger than your enemy," he said.

Currently, Ukraine has a 1:10 ratio of shells to the Russian army.

"Can we hold on like this? No. In any case, with these statistics, they will push us back every day. If we want to fully defend what is under our control today, we must move to a 10:10 ratio," the president explained.

He added that Russia has unlimited human resources, which it does not spare, and a lot of shells. And most of them are not Russian-made, but Iranian. Iran used to give Russia 300-350 Shahed drones a month.

Ukraine's partners have a plan to help the Ukrainian army.

"There are specific weapons that are needed to go forward, to protect the sky, to unblock the sky, to keep people moving forward," Zelenskyy said.
