Heavy weapons need to be sent 'quickly' — Ukrainian Parliament speaker
Ukrainian Parliament speaker Ruslan Stefanchuk called for a quick delivery of weapon systems from Germany, the Funke-Mediengruppe reported.
"Now it's also about the decisions being implemented quickly," Stefanchuk said, referring to Germany's announcement that it would send heavy weapons to Ukraine.
While visiting Berlin, Stefanchuk announced that he would invite German Chancellor Olaf Scholz to Kyiv to "give a speech to the Ukrainian parliament."
"It is very important for us that the ice is broken and that Ukraine has the opportunity to get the newest and most modern weapons from Germany," Stefanchuk said.
He also urged Berlin to send more weapons than already announced, saying that Kyiv requires "heavy weapons such as self-propelled howitzers, multiple rocket launchers, air defense systems and anti-ship guns."
Stefanchuk said that if Ukraine loses the war, Russian troops will be in the Baltic states and Poland within a month.
Commenting on the possibility of a cease-fire with Moscow, Stefanchuk said that "there are red lines for us. We will not give up any of our territories — neither Donbas nor Crimea."
