MOSCOW, December 28. /TASS/. Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba has said that Europeans do not know how to fight wars and arms production is not their most popular topic.

"Europe does not know how to fight wars. Arms production is not the most popular business," he told the Kiev Independent newspaper. "Unfortunately, our friends have spent too much time discussing how and when to increase the production of weapons and ammunition," Kuleba pointed out. The foreign minister added that the problem is not the quality of European weapons, but the inability to scale up the production of technological weapons. "It will not be enough if the situation does not change. And then Russia will be ahead of us," the top diplomat admitted.

At the same time, Kuleba pointed to the important role of the West in equipping the Ukrainian armed forces with modern weapons, including long-range missiles, adding that F-16 fighter-bombers "are on their way." However, the foreign minister noted that he was "more concerned about the pace of development of defense production than about deliveries of new types of weapons."

In this regard, the top Ukrainian diplomat reiterated his thesis about the need for coordinated actions of the military-industrial complexes of the EU, the US and their allies.

Kiev has received over $24 billion in military aid from Washington over the year. The EU has provided nearly $90 billion in military aid since February 2022, but Ukraine continues to demand new supplies of ammunition and military equipment, including aircraft.
