“Every delay in arms deliveries, every political delay, allows Russia to take the lives of Ukrainians. That is what Russia translates into,” the Ukrainian president said in a new message overnight.
Volodymyr Zelensky reiterated the warning that the Russian army is preparing to launch a large-scale raid on Donbas very soon.
“Just as the Russians are destroying Mariupol, they want to erase cities and communities in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions from the map,” he added.
The Ukrainian president thanked Kiev’s partners for “really helping as much as they can”, but insisted that those who have the weapons and ammunition we need and are late in supplying them should know that the fate of this battle depends on them. The fate of the people that can be saved “.
Experts estimate that Ukraine will need far more heavy weapons than it has in the eastern part of the country to repel the Russian attack.
In Mariupol, a strategically important port that has been under siege for weeks, thousands of residents are estimated to have been killed.
