Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba says Western states need to buy shells from third countries and transfer them to Ukraine. Western states should also stop exporting their ammunition and give the entire reserves to the Ukrainian army, he says.

For Kyiv, obtaining shells remains “topic No. 1,” but there are several more priority issues, including the supply of air defense systems and long-range missiles, the minister says. The fourth priority, comprehensive, is the maximum increase in weapons production by our partners and together with Ukraine, he adds.
