Insufficient Military Aid Provided to Ukraine Criticized by Kuleba

Moscow, April 25 – Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba said that the aid being provided by Western countries to Kiev is not enough, and asked the United States to “adjust” its supplies.

For example, he talked about the shells that were supplied to Kiev. According to the head of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry, the West regularly supplies shells to Kiev, including 155-mm ones, but at the same time supplies “very few” artillery shells with a range of up to 30 kilometers, which are “extremely important” for Ukraine.

“We don’t just need artillery ammunition, we need certain types of ammunition,” Kuleba said.

He urged the US to “adjust its supply accordingly”.

Russia has previously sent a memorandum to NATO countries over the supply of weapons to Ukraine. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has indicated that any shipment containing weapons to Ukraine would become a legitimate target for Russia. The Russian Foreign Ministry stated that NATO countries were “playing with fire” by supplying weapons to Ukraine. The Kremlin stated that the injection of weapons into Ukraine from the West does not contribute to the success of the Russian-Ukrainian negotiations and will have a negative impact. Lavrov also stated that the United States and NATO are directly involved in the conflict in Ukraine, “including not only the supply of weapons, but also the training of personnel … in the UK, Germany, Italy and other countries.”
