Kuleba: We’re actively negotiating to unlock solutions for transfer of fighter jets, long-range missiles
KYIV. Jan 31 (Interfax-Ukraine) – Ukraine is actively negotiating to unblock decisions on the transfer of fighter jets and long-range missiles capable of hitting targets at a distance of up to 300 km, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba has said.
“The Ukrainian public and partners know about the types of weapons that we still need. First of all, we are talking about jet fighters and long-range missiles that can hit targets at a distance of up to 300 km. This is not a weapon of escalation, it is a weapon of protection and deterrence of the aggressor,” he said at a briefing on Monday.
The Minister stressed that the Armed Forces of Ukraine should receive all types of weapons that they need for the defense and restoration of the territorial integrity of the state.
“We are actively negotiating to unblock all these solutions. I have instructed all our diplomats in key capitals to make achieving this goal a priority. I am sure that the Armed Forces of Ukraine will certainly receive all the necessary weapons,” Kuleba said.
He also called on the partners to do everything in their power to “make it happen as soon as possible.”
According to Kuleba, the “January agreements” on weapons indicate a new Euro-Atlantic consensus.
“The stronger Ukraine is, the sooner this criminal war will be put to an end. A vivid embodiment of this rule is the formation of an international tank coalition,” he said.
