Allies must support Ukraine without fearing Russia, says Kuleba
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said that the biggest problem Ukraine is experiencing is the fear that it will be forgotten. When asked about the greatest difficulties Ukraine is facing now, he added, "Please do not be afraid of what Russia will do in retaliation."
On Wednesday, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba visited Poland. He met with Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski. The politicians participated in a joint panel during the Campus Poland of the Future event.
The main topic of their discussion was the war in Ukraine. During the meeting, the audience had the opportunity to ask questions. One of the attendees asked the Ukrainian minister about the biggest current difficulties for Ukraine.
Dmytro Kuleba stated that the war consists of a series of difficult issues: there are concerns about whether there will be enough weapons and money. - The biggest problems that Ukraine is experiencing are the fear that it will be forgotten. Our problem is that when we ask for weapons, we hear a negative response because our allies are afraid that this will escalate the conflict - said the minister.
"Do not fear Russia's reaction; we are not afraid"
According to Kuleba, the biggest challenge is convincing our allies to support us without worrying about Moscow's reaction. - The Russians acted as if they were not afraid of escalation from the nation. They dropped hundreds of rockets on our territory. Why? Because they have a very clear strategy and a well-defined goal: to destroy Ukraine - he added.
According to the head of Ukrainian diplomacy, "Such a response is merely an excuse." - Do not fear Russia's reaction; we are not afraid. We fear nothing. Help us. Give us what we need.
Sikorski added, "Instead of wondering what Putin will do next, we should act in such a way that Putin starts wondering what we will do next."
- The attack in the Kursk region by Ukraine worked this way. Now, Putin must think about how to defend there and where else Ukraine might attack. As a result, he has to reinforce border sections - said the head of Polish diplomacy.
