Ukrainian minister says NATO agenda is about ‘guns, guns and guns’

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba spoke at NATO headquarters in Brussels on Thursday, where NATO and G7 foreign ministers are meeting this week to discuss sanctions against Russia and ways to support Ukraine.

“My schedule is very simple. It only has three items in it. It’s guns, guns and guns,” Kuleba told reporters. “Supplying Ukraine with weapons was the best way to “contain Putin and defeat the Russian army in Ukraine so that the war does not spread further,” she added.

“The Ukrainian army and the entire Ukrainian nation have shown that we know how to fight. We know how to win. The more weapons we have, and the sooner they reach Ukraine, the more human lives will be saved, the more towns and villages will not be destroyed and there will be no more Bushes,” he said.

He called on NATO and G7 foreign ministers to “put aside their hesitations, their reluctance to provide Ukraine with everything it needs”, concluding that “as strange as it may seem, today weapons serve the purpose of peace”.

Speaking alongside Kuleba, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said alliance countries “are providing equipment support for you to defend your right of self-defence, which is enshrined in the UN Charter and is an urgent need to support even more so in Ukraine”.

Stoltenberg said he was confident that NATO “will address the need for more air defense systems, anti-tank weapons, lighter but also heavier weapons, and many different types of support for Ukraine.”
