Ukraine seeks EU weapons, offers gas
By EUobserver
Ukrainian prime minister Denys Shmyhal has urged the EU to increase weapons deliveries and offered to share gas with Europe amid Russian cut-offs. "We need more modern weapons, such as air defence, missile defence and ship defence," he said in Brussels on Monday, Reuters reports. Ukraine had 30 billion cubic metres of gas in storage tanks, he added. "We can replace to a large extent the Russian imports," he said.
