Ukraine’s Foreign Minister, Dmytro Kuleba, has said that his country’s Western allies are not supplying Kyiv with enough ammunition and air defence missiles.

He also said that there were ammunition shortages on the ground as well, saying that “insufficient quantities of artillery munitions has been a problem from the start.”
He said that he was in talks with the German government about receiving Taurus cruise missiles, despite the low house of the German parliament voting against delivering them last week.
