KIEV, Feb. 27 – Ukrainian Foreign Minister Pavlo Klimkin has said Ukraine needs more defensive and high-tech weapons and called for more efficient cooperation with the U.S. and NATO.

"We definitely need it. Anyway, I always say that I do not like this division into lethal and non-lethal weapons. There is a clear concept of defensive weapons. We need it," Klimkin said in an interview with the Dzerkalo Tyzhnia (Mirror Weekly, ZN.UA) answering a question on whether Ukraine needs defensive lethal weapons.
