Amid ongoing escalation in the Russia-Ukraine crisis, with indications of the crisis widening to involve several European countries, Ukraine’s Foreign Minister, Dmytro Kuleba, has called upon Germany to supply Ukraine with long-range “Torus” missiles.
During a joint press conference with his German counterpart, Annalena Baerbock, who is currently visiting Kyiv, Kuleba emphasized the urgency of the situation.
He expressed frustration over the delay in obtaining the “Torus” missiles, which could have potentially saved the lives of Ukrainian soldiers and civilians.
“I don’t know why time was wasted. We could have achieved more and saved many Ukrainian lives if we had the ‘Torus’ missiles,” Kuleba stated.
Kuleba further urged Berlin to expedite the decision regarding the delivery of these missiles to Ukraine.
In response, Baerbock reaffirmed Germany’s commitment to supporting Ukraine and praised Kyiv’s progress towards Ukraine’s membership in the European Union.
Baerbock arrived in the Ukrainian capital earlier today in a surprise visit, marking her fourth visit since the outset of the Russia-Ukraine conflict in February 2022.
