Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said his country's armed forces are suffering from an ammunition shortage and called on Western partners to speed up their support. Zelenskyy stressed that assistance for the Ukrainian army must be delivered more quickly.
Russia asserted that Western arms supplies to Ukraine sabotage the peace process and drag NATO countries directly into the war. Moscow described this as 'playing with fire'.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov announced that all convoys and cargoes carrying weapons to Ukraine would constitute legitimate military targets for Russia.
The Kremlin assessed that the West's continued arming of Ukraine would make no contribution to diplomatic talks and would yield negative results.
