KIEV, Feb. 20 – U.S. and EU officials understand Ukraine's need for defensive weapons because of Russia's aggression in Donbas, President Petro Poroshenko said.
"We in Ukraine are defending Europe from Russian aggression. We all know that after Ukraine [Russian aggression] may be directed at other countries. Russia is testing its most advanced weapons systems in Donetsk… You know that I am for peace, but we are talking about the defense of our country and our people. We urgently need defense weapons. I am convinced the U.S. and Europe know this," Poroshenko told the German Bild newspaper.
