Kuleba names two EU countries that do not supply weapons to Ukraine

EUROPEAN PRAVDA – MONDAY, 22 AUGUST 2022, 22:18

Only two European Union countries – Hungary and Austria – have refused to help Ukraine with arms amid the current full-scale Russian invasion.

As reported by European Pravda, referring to RBK-Ukraine, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Dmytro Kuleba said this in an interview, which was shown on Monday on the national 24/7 newscast.

“With the exception of Hungary and Austria, as a neutral country, the supply of weapons to Ukraine is not a taboo for any European country, although it used to be. Therefore, the concern is not that they (EU countries) are against [supplying weapons]; the concern is that when they are for [supplying weapons], but on a practical level, many different things, arguments and discussions appear,” he said.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs added that the political discussions of the Western partners about when and which weapons to transfer cost Ukraine daily losses on the front.

In July, Levente Magyar, the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Hungary, during a visit to Lviv, said that Budapest is ready to pass all aid provided by other countries to Ukraine through its territory, including military aid.

Earlier, Josep Borrell, the EU’s High Representative for Foreign Policy and Security Policy, announced a mission to train the Ukrainian military in a country neighbouring Ukraine.
