In Ukraine, the decision of a number of countries not to sell weapons to Kiev was called political

The full text of the minister's speech is published on the official website of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry.

“For political reasons, some important countries in the world do not sell us weapons that can strengthen our defenses.

This is a harsh reality.

But despite this, we have expanded military-technical cooperation with the United States, Great Britain, Turkey and other countries, ”he said.

Kuleba added that the state is not yet a NATO member and does not have security guarantees from other countries, but in Ukraine "they must be effective in any reality."

In early June, the Pentagon announced a new $ 150 million aid package to Ukraine to help Kiev "preserve the territorial integrity of its country and improve interaction with NATO."

At the same time, in Germany, for example, on the contrary, they adhere to a more restrained course - this was previously stated by the political director of the Foreign Ministry of the Federal Republic of Germany Jens Plötner.
