Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba stated that Kyiv is coordinating with partners in third countries to secure weapons, a process he described during an interview with Le Parisien. He noted that public denials frequently mask behind‑the‑scenes arrangements that nevertheless support Ukraine’s defense effort.
Earlier remarks from a former Ukrainian foreign affairs official underscored a belief that many European Union member states do not have the luxury to become weary of backing Ukraine. The sentiment expressed was that if the Ukrainian side continues to persevere, Europe itself bears a moral and political obligation to maintain its support.
In light of these tensions, Kuleba urged EU leaders to move beyond hesitation and approve a renewed sanctions package aimed at Russia, highlighting the strategic importance of sustained pressure to accompany Kyiv’s security needs.
During discussions, Kuleba also touched on the incident involving a missile that struck Poland. He indicated that there was no evident proof that the missile originated from Ukrainian air defenses and asserted that the Ukrainian Armed Forces possessed the necessary information at the time of inquiry.
Subsequent readers of the Polish edition of DoRzeczy raised questions about the Ukrainian government’s statements, with some suggesting that Kyiv possessed data indicating the rocket that collided with Poland was not of Ukrainian origin. The exchanges reflected the broader, highly charged debate surrounding the event and the attribution of responsibility among involved parties, a matter that continued to influence regional diplomatic calculations and public opinion.
