“For those out there who are afraid of being ‘dragged into World War III.’ “Ukraine will fight back and succeed. We need your help to fight the war. Give us all the necessary weapons. Apply more sanctions to Russia and carry out complete isolation,” Kuleba said on his Twitter account, Monday (14/3), as quoted by Antara. Reuters.
“Help Ukraine push Putin to failure and you will be able to avoid a bigger war,” he continued.

“Our highest demand is for fighter jets, attack aircraft and air defense systems,” Kuleba said AFP.
Ukraine continues to urge its allies to make more efforts to suppress Russia, one of which is to implement a no -fly zone in the country’s airspace.

Meanwhile, Russian President Vladimir Putin had threatened Western countries in connection with this no -fly zone.
“Any movement in this direction we will consider as participation in armed conflict by the country,” Putin said at a meeting with Aeroflot employees, quoted from the statement. AFP.
He also stressed that the implementation of the no-fly zone would have ‘colossal’ consequences for Europe and the world.
