Ukraine Seeks Enhanced Defense Support
(MENAFN) Ukrainian Presidential Chief of Staff Andriy Yermak stated Monday that he held discussions with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, along with national security advisors from the UK, Germany, Italy, and France, concentrating on defense aid, security assurances, and intensified sanctions against Russia.
Yermak explained that the video conference with European partners followed a Sept. 4 assembly of the “coalition of the willing” in Paris, during which the coordination of “a clear system of security guarantees for Ukraine” was addressed.
He added that “the developments have already been prepared in both the political and military parts."
“Against the backdrop of intensified missile and drone attacks by the Russians on Ukraine, including the first strike during the war on the government building with an Iskander missile, further strengthening of Ukraine’s positions in countering Russian aggression is needed,” Yermak wrote on Telegram.
He emphasized that this entails “additional support for Ukraine, particularly our air defense, and strengthening sanctions against Russia,” noting that “we discussed with partners the next practical steps and measures in these areas.”
Yermak also informed Rubio about “constant strikes by the Russians, who are attacking our cities, residential buildings, with drones and missiles.”
Russian President Vladimir “Putin understands only force, does not want to stop the war, (so) pressure on Russia must continue. A stable peace is our goal, which we must achieve,” he added, while expressing gratitude to US President Donald Trump for his “leadership in striving to end Russia’s war against Ukraine” and commending Rubio for “doing a lot to achieve a just peace.”
