Ukraine's Defense Minister Rustem Umerov discussed the key needs of the Ukrainian Defense Forces during a videoconference with the defense ministers of Germany, France, Italy, the United Kingdom, and Poland. An important emphasis was placed on the need for more prompt and effective support from international partners.
Umerov emphasized that in order to achieve victory, Ukraine must receive more weapons, ammunition and technical assistance from its allies. One of the priorities is to strengthen air defense, given the constant threat from a terrorist country that continues to attack Ukraine's critical infrastructure.
The issue of artillery ammunition was also raised, as the 1 million shells provided by our partners are not enough to achieve the necessary parity with the enemy. In this regard, Umerov emphasized the need for additional supplies for effective combat.
Ukraine actively cooperates with international partners in the defense industry. The key areas for development include the production of ammunition, armored vehicles, air defense systems and artillery systems in Ukraine, as well as technology transfer for the development of domestic defense capabilities.
Umerov paid special attention to the need to audit the assistance provided to Ukraine over the past three years to identify the most effective support models and expand them in the future. Ukraine is also ready for new initiatives that will help meet the needs of the Armed Forces in 2025.
