This was reported by Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba La Stampa, commenting on statements about the "useless" transfer of aid, reports UNN.
When you say that it is impossible to defeat Russia and therefore aid to us is useless, look at the warships sunk off our coasts and the millions of tons of goods exported by sea. A country without ammunition has managed to liberate 50% of the occupied territories since February 24, 2022
Kuleba noted that the situation on the front remains tense.
The Russians continue to destroy entire villages using air superiority and guided bombs. In doing so, they use a tactic they themselves call "meat assault," where waves of soldiers are sent out to massacre and are immediately replaced
He recalled that Kiev, needs air defense, ammunition, drones - "which are the new heroes of this war" and long-range missiles "to destroy Russian logistics and command in the occupied territories."
