Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba has urged his EU counterparts to send more arms to Ukraine to fight back against the Russian invasion. "The war is raging," Kuleba said in his address to the assembled EU foreign ministers in Toledo, Spain, on August 31, asking for more armored vehicles and tanks, as well as armored ambulances, which are in high demand. Kuleba also warned that Russia's capacity to produce drones and missiles was increasing and called on the European Union to stop this development with export controls and a crackdown on anyone evading sanctions. An upcoming meeting between Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Russian President Vladimir Putin is "almost the last chance to see Russia return to the Black Sea grain initiative," he added.
