Ukrainian official says country needs 10 times more weapons aid

Ukrainian Deputy Foreign Minister Andrij Melnyk known as for “10 times more” Western navy assist as his nation struggles to struggle off the Russian invasion.

“We are thankful to our allies for their military help. But: it is not enough. Ukraine needs 10 times more to finish Russian aggression this year,” Melnyk, an outspoken former Ukrainian ambassador to Germany, wrote on Twitter on Saturday.

Melnyk known as on Ukraine’s supporters to “cross all artificial red lines” – a reference to hesitance amongst some allies over supplying Ukraine with significantly highly effective weapons programs – and known as on backers to spend 1% of gross home product (GDP) on weapons deliveries for Ukraine.

In the case of Germany, Europe’s largest economic system, that might be greater than $39 billion alone. But the Ukrainian diplomat stated the quantities are small in comparison with allied spending throughout World War II.

So far, Ukraine’s backers have supplied a complete of about $55 billion in assist, in keeping with Melnyk.
