Ukrainian Foreign Minister Pavlo Klimkin has said Ukraine needs more defensive and high-tech weapons and efficient cooperation with the U.S. and NATO.
"We definitely need it. Anyway, I always say that I do not like this division into lethal and non-lethal weapons. There is a clear concept of defensive weapons. We need it," Klimkin said in an interview with the Dzerkalo Tyzhnia (Mirror Weekly, ZN.UA) answering a question on whether Ukraine needs defensive lethal weapons.
He stressed that they specially need more high-tech weapons.
"We definitely need more high-tech weapons, we need efficient cooperation with the United States and NATO," the minister said.
When asked if one can expect the new U.S. administration to provide lethal defensive weapons to Ukraine, Klimkin said: "I have an impression that these people have clear convictions and willingness to defend them... Military and technical cooperation will definitely continue, and most importantly develop."
