Ukraine's foreign minister expresses displeasure over not getting enough cooperation from Germany amid war

Ukraine's Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba has expressed displeasure over the lack of adequate cooperation from Germany in the midst of the war.

Dmytro Kuleba has asked many questions to Germany by tweeting.

In his tweet, Kuleba writes, "Where Ukraine now needs Leopard and Marters (German special tanks) to free the people and save them from genocide, there are disappointing signals from Germany. Not a single rational argument as to why these weapons cannot be supplied, only senseless fears and excuses. What is Berlin afraid of that Kiev is not afraid of?

Ukraine is urging Western countries to speed up arms deliveries to speed up its offensive against Russia.

In a video address late on Monday, September 12, 2022, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that the West should accelerate the delivery of weapons systems. He called on allies of Ukraine to "further strengthen their cooperation to defeat Russian terrorism".

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says Ukrainian military's retaliation against Russian forces is continuing. Ukrainian forces have recaptured other Russian positions.

President Volodymyr Zelensky claimed that more than 6,000 square km (2,317 sq mi) of territory in eastern and southern Ukraine had been withdrawn from Russian control in September 2022. However, international media outlet BBC declined to confirm these figures.
