KYIV, Ukraine — Ukraine’s deputy defense minister stressed on Sunday that the country needs continued military support from Western nations until it defeats Moscow’s forces, as the war continues.
“We have already entered a protracted battle and we will need continued support,” Ganna Malayar told local media.
“The West must understand that its help cannot be one-time, but something that continues till our victory,” he said.
The US and European countries are attempting to aid Kyiv’s war effort by not entering directly as belligerents. They have supplied modern weapons worth millions of dollars to Ukraine.
The United States announced this week that long-range weapons were being shipped to Ukraine as part of a $700 million package that included air-surveillance radar, more Javelin short-range anti-tank rockets, artillery ammunition and helicopters. Are included.
Russia has warned that the new delivery risks dragging Washington directly into conflict with Moscow.
