Ukraine’s Deputy Defense Minister said on Tuesday that Ukraine has received “only 10 percent of the weapons” it needs to face the Russian invasion from its Western allies.
“We get 10% of the weapons we need,” Anna Maliar told Ukrainian television.
“No matter how great Ukraine’s efforts, no matter how professional our military is, we cannot win this war without the help of our western allies.”
According to the deputy minister, “clear dates should be set” for weapons deliveries, since “every day of delay is another day against the lives of Ukrainian soldiers and our people.”
“We cannot wait any longer, as the situation is very difficult,” he said, as Russian troops gradually captured the (eastern) Luhansk region in the Donbass basin.
Recently, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky called for “quickly… more weapons and military equipment” because “the Russians have ten, a hundred times more weapons than the Ukrainians”.
Zelensky said in a video conference with journalists that the Ukrainian army mainly needs “long-range weapons” and “armored vehicles”.
