Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov declared during the Globsec-2022 forum in Bratislava, Slovakia, that it is difficult to predict when the war with Russia will end, but that he optimistically expects it to end by the end of the year.
He said the Ukrainian defense forces still “need heavy weapons, mainly MLRS, as well as other artillery, tanks, anti-ship systems, unmanned systems, missiles and air defences”.
“We need them quickly and in quantities commensurate with the scale of the threats. Ukraine found itself in a state of war without adequate support from the democratic world,” Reznikov said.
“The situation is changing now, but slowly. We appreciate the contribution of each country that is currently with Ukraine, which has committed to increasing the effectiveness of international support,” she continued.
He added: “Ukraine has changed its philosophy on arms supply. If in the first month of the war we focused on getting portable anti-tank and anti-aircraft systems, now the nature of war has changed and we need more weapons.”
“In the Kherson region, the Russian army is building a deeply staggered defense. Our goal is to prevent the Russian scenarios from being realized and liberate our territories as quickly as possible.”
