Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that the United Kingdom has been providing weapons Kyiv needs to fight the war with Russia and thanked Prime Minister Boris Johnson for "complete" understanding of the needs.

Britain said on Monday that, in coordination with the United States, it will supply Ukraine with multiple-launch rocket systems that can strike targets up to 80km (50 miles) away as part of a new UK military aid for Kyiv.

"I am grateful to Prime Minister Boris Johnson for the complete understanding of our demands and preparedness to provide Ukraine with exactly the weapons that it so needs to protect the lives of our people," Mr Zelensky said in his nightly video address.

On Monday, Ukrainian and Russian troops fought street by street for control of the industrial city of Sievierodonetsk in a pivotal battle of the Kremlin offensive in Ukraine's eastern Donbas region.

Mr Zelensky and Mr Johnson held a phone conversation in which,
Mr Zelensky earlier said, the two were "looking for ways to avoid the food crisis and unblock (Ukraine's) ports," referring to Russia's naval blockade of Ukraine which has left the latter unable to export much of its agricultural produce.

Meanwhile, Germany said last week that it will send heavy weapons to Ukraine, following criticism that it was holding back arms in apparent deference to Vladimir Putin.

Chancellor Olaf Scholz has since been accused of inaction.

German opposition leader Friedrich Merz accused Scholz of "dithering and timidity" last month.

Speaking to Germany's parliament Wednesday, Scholz scrambled to defend his government's record, and said Germany would send Ukraine IRIS-T anti-aircraft systems.

Scholz also said Germany had sent plenty of equipment to Ukraine, listing 15 million rounds of ammunition, 100,000 hand grenades, and more than 5,000 anti-tank mines.

However, leaked documents published Tuesday by the Welt am Sonntag newspaper on Tuesday showed that Germany has sent only two deliveries of weapons to Ukraine since March 30.

The documents also show that Ukraine asked Germany for Harpoon anti-ship missiles, but Germany did not grant the request.

And you are good at wailing

Even with nuke Ukraine won't still win mother Russia...

With all the weapons still Ukraine is losing.

Honestly, do you know that if Ukraine attack Poland or Romania even France with all the weapons they have at their disposal, they will definitely beat these nations. This was said by one of their top military echelons. And it's true. Just that Russia is far too strong for Ukraine.

Even if Ukraine gets nuke it will not changed anything

Only way Ukraine is winning is NATO troops coming in which is not possible
