PRESS RELEASE : Ukraine is negotiating with partner states regarding the supply of the necessary weapons, but the details should not be disclosed – President

The press release issued by the President of Ukraine on 11 July 2022.

Ukraine is constantly negotiating with partner states, in particular with the Netherlands, regarding the supply of weapons necessary to repel Russian aggression, but the details of these negotiations should not be disclosed in order not to give advantage to the enemy. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said this during a conversation with media representatives following a meeting with Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte in Kyiv.

“I am not sure that I can tell absolutely everything we are negotiating with the Dutch government. I would not like to prepare the Russian Federation for unpleasant surprises for them,” said the Head of State.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy emphasized that Ukraine needs, in particular, the supply of as many artillery systems as possible. And this issue was also discussed during the meeting with Mark Rutte.

“I talked about the artillery with all the partners who are ready to talk with us and provide strong support. Artillery is really not enough,” said the President.

The Head of State emphasized that the Ukrainian troops are fighting every day to de-occupy all the territories of Ukraine.

“I can say that the task of all our military is to de-occupy our entire territory. I think this is the task of every citizen of our country,” Volodymyr Zelenskyy added.
