Kuleba calls on the EU Council to increase military aid and speed up supplies

Ukraine's Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba took part in the Council of Foreign Ministers of the European Union. In particular, he called for an increase in military aid to Ukraine. This was reported by the press service of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine.


Kuleba emphasized that it is important to focus on the main thing: providing Ukrainian infantrymen with everything they need to successfully complete their missions.


During his speech, he called not only for an increase in the supply of weapons, but also for a reduction in the time of their delivery, including combat aircraft, artillery, tanks, armored vehicles, drones and other military equipment.


The Minister expressed his gratitude for the support and hoped to receive the eighth tranche of the Peace Fund, as well as the creation of a special fund within the European Peace Fund worth 20 billion euros to assist Ukraine.


Kuleba also emphasized the importance of strengthening air defense of various ranges.


The Foreign Minister thanked the European Commission for supporting the start of negotiations on Ukraine's accession and called on his colleagues to speed up work on the 12th package of anti-Russian sanctions.


Kuleba also expressed hope for closer cooperation with Asia, Africa, and South America within the framework of the Grain From Ukraine initiative and the formula for peace.
