KYIV, Ukraine -- Ukraine stepped up the pressure on its Western allies Saturday, deploring the lack of progress on setting up an international tribunal to try Russia's leaders and on the transfer of frozen Russian assets.
"Unfortunately, we are in a kind of deadlock on both because we have divisions on the first issue and there is clearly a lack of will on the second issue," Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said, referring to a tribunal.
There has been insufficient progress too, on the transfer of frozen Russian assets to Ukraine for use in the country's reconstruction, Kuleba added. "We are grateful for all the support provided... We need more heavy weapons," Umerov said in his embargoed speech.Zelensky, in his comments on Friday, suggested that Moscow was counting on a Republican victory in next year's US presidential election to see a reduction in Washington's support for Ukraine.
"Drones deployed in Crimea are used against our ports of Izmail and Reni" used as alternative exports hub, particularly since the expiry of the deal allowing grain exports on the Black Sea. Intelligence chief Kyrylo Budanov said Ukrainian strikes on Russian territory were mainly aimed at military targets.
