Ukrainian Foreign Ministry asked for help from the West “ten times more”

October 3, 2025

Ukraine is grateful to its Western partners for their help, but it needs “10 times more”, Ukrainian Deputy Foreign Minister Andriy Melnyk tweeted.

“But that’s not enough. Ukraine needs 10 times more,” he wrote, promising that would be enough to “end Russian aggression” as early as 2023.

In this regard, he called on Kiev’s Western partners to “cross all artificial red lines”, as well as to raise the level of military supplies to Ukraine to 1 GDP.

Earlier, Melnik, who was at one time ambassador to Germany, said that thanks to “Volodymyr Zelensyy’s proactive stance” and public pressure, more than 3 billion euros worth of weapons had been obtained from Berlin. He also said that Berlin should not say that it had handed over 18 Leopard tanks to Kiev and now “it’s over”, because it is “obviously not a limit”, and urged “not to ridicule the ‘Ukraine”.
