Ukrainian Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov wants billions more in military aid to continue his transformation of the Ukrainian military and continue shifting the momentum against Russia.

According to Ukrinform, he made the remarks in an interview with Politico.

Kyiv is asking its allies to seize what officials describe as a "fleeting opportunity": fund a new wave of drones, missiles and military technology that could keep Russia off balance and deepen Ukraine's recent gains. The goal is to force Vladimir Putin to realize he cannot win.

"We need the next level of aid to be able to finish the job," Fedorov told Politico. "If we have enough resources to launch a new cycle of war innovations before Russia adapts to the current one, we will get another six months."

"In a war of technology, you can see how quickly you can turn the tide. It all depends on the speed of financing and our actions," Fedorov said, adding "Ukraine is protecting the entirety of Europe from Russians."
