“It is much more important to provide us with modern weapons,” says the mayor of kyiv

“As for the arrival of foreign contingents, I think that today the question is not so acute, but if there is a desire to help Ukraine with modern armaments, we would be very grateful”, launched Saturday May 4 on France Inter Vitali Klitschko, the mayor of kyiv. Thursday, Emmanuel Macron again assumed the possibility of sending Western troops on the ground in Ukraine, estimating in an interview published Thursday by The Economist that it would be necessary “ask yourself a question” if Moscow “was going to break through the front lines” and that kyiv was asking for it.

Responding to a question about this French position, Vitali Klitschko said he was “convinced that today it is much more important to provide us with modern weapons.” “We need more weapons (…) I would like to thank our partners for air defense and modern equipment, which are not enough, even if we feel more protected today than a year ago”insists the mayor of kyiv.
