Ukrainian Deputy Foreign Minister Andrij Melnyk called for “10 times more” Western military aid as his country struggles to fight off the Russian invasion.
“We are thankful to our allies for their military help. But: it is not enough. Ukraine needs 10 times more to finish Russian aggression this year,” Melnyk, an outspoken former Ukrainian ambassador to Germany, wrote on Twitter on Saturday.
Melnyk called on Ukraine’s supporters to “cross all artificial red lines” – a reference to hesitance among some allies over supplying Ukraine with particularly powerful weapons systems – and called on backers to spend 1 per cent of gross domestic product (GDP) on weapons deliveries for Ukraine.
