The Russian Federation hopes to "wait out" military assistance to Ukraine. However, such hopes from the Kremlin are doomed to fail, states Ukrainian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Dmytro Kuleba.
"Russia is mistaken if it thinks it can 'wait out' military assistance to Ukraine," the minister said.
According to Kuleba, Ukraine will only become stronger, and Russian aggression will be defeated.
"We are not just supplying weapons to Ukraine. We are increasing domestic production and joint production with partners in NATO and beyond," the minister added.
