Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba believes that Russia is trying to destroy Ukraine with the same tactics it used in Syria.

Source: Kuleba's statement to NATO countries, made available to the UP.

Quote: "Russia is trying to destroy Ukraine with the same tactics it used in Syria. We must not allow this in the heart of Europe.

"Our country is ready to fight, we continue to battle the Russian invasion, but we need immediate help in repelling Russian attacks in the air.

"If you do not do this, you will have to share the responsibility for the lives and suffering of the civilian population of Ukraine who are being killed by rocket attacks from Russian planes."

Details: Kuleba again called on NATO to urgently close Ukrainian skies to Russian attacks in the air. He also asked for fighter jets to be given to Ukraine so that the Ukrainian Air Force could effectively counter Russian military aircraft.

Quote: "Putin's war against Ukraine is developing in such a way that the moment will come when NATO countries will be ready to provide Ukraine with literally everything to stop Russia from attacking the whole Europe and turning the lives of Europeans into horror.

"I want to believe that you will act decisively before it is too late."

Background: An extraordinary meeting of the North Atlantic Council began in Brussels on 4 March.
