Ukraine has received "about 10% of the weapons"[/B] it is requesting from its Western partners in order to confront the Russian army on the ground, theMinistry of Defense announced today.
"Of the weapons we need, we have received about 10 percent," Deputy Defense Minister Anna Malyar said, speaking on Ukrainian television.
"No matter the efforts made by Ukraine, the professionalism of our army, without the help of our Western partners we will not be able to win this war," she said.
Malyar said the problem of delays in deliveries should be solved "because every day of delay is another day at the expense of the lives of Ukrainian soldiers, our people."
"We cannot wait for a long time because the situation is very difficult," especially in Donbass, where the Russians have been advancing for many weeks and have almost taken full control of the Luhansk region, she continued. He also called for a "concrete timetable" for deliveries and for Kiev's Western allies to continue supporting Ukraine financially and militarily.
Earlier, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zhelensky again called on Western countries to send "faster (...) more weapons" because "the Russians have tenfold, a hundredfold". The Ukrainian army "does not have enough long-range weapons" or tanks, he said, speaking to Danish journalists via video call.
