"I am not a military man. I work on the diplomatic front, and my task is to provide more weapons, more aid, more ammunition," he said, answering the relevant question. "But if you want to launch a successful counteroffensive, then you need everything at your disposal, including artillery, armored vehicles and tanks, so we probably still don't have enough [weapons]."

Zhovkva acknowledged that Ukraine is also experiencing an acute shortage of air defense systems, and accused European countries of exerting insufficient economic pressure on Russia, which still receives significant profits from the sale of energy resources. "It is high time for the EU and the rest of the world to think about whether they are doing enough in terms of sanctions," he said, adding that the answer to this question is negative.
