Fierce battles between Ukrainian defenders and Russian occupiers continue

in the east

of Ukraine .

The Ukrainian side needs appropriate equipment and weapons to successfully conquer its lands.

This was stated by the Minister of Defense of Ukraine, Oleksiy Reznikov, in an interview with the Canadian CBC TV channel.

According to him, the situation in the East is difficult, but controlled by the Armed Forces.

Speaking about the battles, Reznikov noted that Ukraine needs weapons to effectively fight against the Russian invaders. 

These are fighter jets, other combat aircraft and long-range missiles.

Thanks to this weaponry, Ukrainian soldiers will be able to destroy warehouses and command posts of the occupiers.

Reznikov expressed hope that during the next negotiations with partners in the coming weeks regarding fighter jets for Ukraine, he will receive a positive decision.

"For me, everything that is impossible today (will be - ed.) possible tomorrow," Reznikov said, recalling air defense and long-range artillery.

We will remind, the spokesman of the command of the Air Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Yuriy Ignat, said that

 Ukraine needs to upgrade all its Soviet aircraft to American F-16 fighters

and create at least five air brigades from them for effective protection against the Russian aggressor.

He explained that the Soviet aircraft currently in service with Ukraine are at the limit of their capabilities.

According to Politico, a contingent of military officials is pushing for the 

Pentagon to approve sending F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine 

to help the country defend against Russian missile and drone attacks.

As the deputy head of the President's Office, Andrii Sybiga, reported, the eighth meeting of "Ramshaina" was called an armored one, and the 

next one will be an aviation one. 

The ninth meeting at the Ramstein base 

will take place in February 2023, Oleksiy Reznikov reported.
