Even in the event of an end to Western arms supplies, Ukraine would continue to fight Russia. “If we don’t get weapons, fine, then we will fight with shovels, but we will defend ourselves because this war is a war for our existence,” Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said yesterday on the ARD talk show Anne Will. .
“So the sooner we get weapons, the sooner they are sent, the greater the help for us. If the weapons are sent later, we will still say thank you, but much will be lost, many people will have died.”
necessary air defense systems
Kuleba stressed that no one in the West should believe that Ukraine would be more willing to make concessions without arms deliveries. He added: “The later they send us the weapons, the more people will die sooner and the more people will be victims of Russian atrocities, and the more Ukrainian territory will be conquered by the Russians.”
Kuleba said his country has significantly fewer weapons than Russia. “We cannot win the war with such an imbalance.” In recent days, the Russians alone have fired 1,000 rockets at targets in Ukraine. That’s why your country also needs air defense systems.
