Military aid promised by Western partners is arriving too slowly at the front.
Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Dmytro Kuleba , in his own way, called on Western partners to speed up the transfer of promised military aid to Ukraine. In his Twitter, the Foreign Minister unequivocally hinted at the delay of government officials of “certain” countries.
During the war, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are already switching to more modern and high-tech NATO-style weapons. Fears that Ukrainians will need a lot of time to learn how to use it are considered futile by the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry. The servicemen are well trained and quickly adopt Western experience.
Before May 9, the intensity of fighting at the front is increasing, and Ukraine needs more weapons to protect itself from Russian aggression. However, it seems that some Western partners are delaying the process of transferring military aid.
aggression does not. This is why Ukraine shifts to modern equipment. Training is required, but we are fast learners. In fact, we learn to operate modern weapons faster than it takes some governments to decide upon providing them.

“Soviet-era stockpiles are dwindling and Russian aggression is not. That's why Ukraine is switching to modern equipment. We need training, but we are learning fast. In fact, we are learning to control modern weapons faster than some governments need to decide to provide them,” Dmytro Kuleba wrote. .
Heavy fighting is currently underway in Mariupol. The commander of the Azov Regiment recorded an urgent video message in which he said that the Russian occupiers had broken into the territory of the Azovstal plant.
