Ukraine Minister of Foreign Affairs Dmytro Kuleba has called on their allies to extend military support to his country.
According to Kuleba, the support will come in handy as they defend themselves from the brutal attacks by the Russian Federation.
He said that despite increasing their production of defence infrastructure to three times what it was at the beginning of the war, Ukraine still needs more and quicker military aid.
The minister said this will help them repel the attacks by Russia, which have come at a painful cost of their fighters getting killed and injured.
"With this brutality in the background, it is not surprising that Ukraine requires more and quicker military aid from its partners.
"We have already increased our defence output threefold last year, and we will increase it sixfold this year but the scale of war is enormous which is why we still require military supplies from allies," Kuleba said.
He went on to say that the situation at the frontline, which extends to over 200 kilometres remains tense, because of Russia's brutal war tactics.
The Foreign Affairs Minister noted that Ukraine has crucial priority needs, in their efforts to stop Russia's aggression.
He said they include support in terms of air defence systems; from portable to frontline complexes, to large air defence systems to help cover cities.
"We also need ammunition for air defence. Other critical needs include artillery ammunition in sufficient quantities and artillery systems.
"Another top priority is having more long-range missiles to effectively destroy Russian logistics and command posts in Ukraine's occupied territories. We also need armoured vehicles and engineering equipment."
Kuleba said that as the war continues, drones have become Ukraine's greatest asset so far and that while Ukraine works to produce them, they still need aid.
"Drones are the new heroes of the war and there will never be enough of them. Although Ukraine is also producing a lot of drones we also expect supplies of them to Ukraine," he said.
He further noted that Ukrainians want to live in their country where they enjoy their freedom.
Kuleba said it is the reason they need the arms to defend their sovereignty.
"Ukrainians want to live in our own country and make our own decisions. This is why today, we have no other choice than to defend our country with arms."
He said the Russian invasion is only hellbent on denying Ukraine's right to exist as a sovereign nation and that they are not the only country whose right to exist at least within current borders Russia denies.
Minister Kuleba asked those doubting Ukraine's ability to stop Russia to look at the successes they have had since the start of the full-scale invasion on February 24, 2022, despite not having any Naval forces, and having less military equipment.
"When you hear that Ukraine's goals are unattainable and it is impossible to defeat Russia or to make them concede and recognise the new reality, you can respond with a very simple example.
"The story of Ukrainian maritime experts over the last two years. It demonstrates the best way to put Russia in its place and solve the problems it causes around the world," he said.
