Ukraine’s foreign minister has appealed for help from the West as the country faces a battle for its industrial eastern regions after Russian forces withdrew from the outskirts of Kyiv to regroup. Authorities urged people to immediately evacuate from the Donbas region before Russia intensifies its offensive.
In Brussels, Dmytro Kuleba urged Nato to provide more weapons for his war-torn country to help prevent further atrocities like those reported in the city of Bucha. “My agenda is very simple… it’s weapons, weapons and weapons,” Mr Kuleba said as he arrived at Nato headquarters on Thursday for talks with the military organisation’s foreign ministers.
“We know how to fight. We know how to win. But without sustainable and sufficient supplies requested by Ukraine, these wins will be accompanied by enormous sacrifices,” Mr Kuleba said. “The more weapons we get and the sooner they arrive in Ukraine, the more human lives will be saved.”
