“The situation at the front lines is difficult,” Oleksiy Reznikov said in a statement on Facebook.
“The Kremlin continues to press by sheer mass. It stumbles and faces strong rebuff. It suffers huge casualties,” he said. “But yet still has forces to advance in some parts of the front.”
Echoing President Volodymyr Zelensky’s previous comments, Reznikov said that up 100 Ukrainian soldiers were being killed every day, and up to 500 wounded.
Ukraine, he said, had “already received, bought on the market, manufactured and handed over to the Armed Forces of Ukraine a significant number of weapons.”
“These numbers would have been enough for a victorious defence operation against any army in Europe. But not against Russia. The Russian Moloch still has a lot of means for devouring human lives for to satisfy its imperial ego,” said Reznikov.
“That is why we emphasize: Ukraine desperately needs heavy weapons, and very fast. We have proved that, unlike many others, we do not fear the Kremlin,” he said. “But as a country we cannot afford to be losing our best sons and daughters.”
The European Commission has announced another 205 million euros ($220 million) in aid for Ukraine, due to the “soaring” humanitarian crisis in the country.
“This brings the total EU humanitarian assistance in reaction to the war to 348 million euro, of which 13 million is dedicated to Moldova to support displaced people arriving in the country,” according to Balazs Ujvari, the EU Commission’s spokesperson for budget and human resources, humanitarian aid and crisis management.
