Partners ready for both military cooperation with Ukraine, economic measures to counter Russia – Kuleba

KYIV. Nov 16 (Interfax-Ukraine) – Ukraine’s partners are ready for both military cooperation with Ukraine and economic measures to counter Russia, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba has said.

"We know what every partner can do. Some can work with us on the military track. Others prefer to act through economic measures. Someone else can only do political messaging. It is important to pool all these elements together, and based on the capacity and the political and readiness of every partner to make a contribution," Kuleba said in an interview with the Financial Times.

The minister said that "everything that can strengthen Ukraine’s capacity to defend itself and demotivate Russia from resorting to military actions is on the table."

"We think that the use of migrants against Belarus, the situation around Nord Stream 2, the disinformation campaigns, the military buildup by Russia, are all part of a broader picture. Russia is involved in all of these situations," Kuleba said.
