KIEV: Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said he discussed heavy weapon supplies to Ukraine with German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock.

"We need more heavy weapons delivered as soon as possible, particularly MLRS (Multiple Launch Rocket Systems)," Kuleba tweeted after the talks.

According to reports, the Ukrainian Foreign Minister added that he had briefed Baerbock on the difficult situation in the Donbass region.

Other topics of discussion included additional sanctions against Russia and Ukraine's prospects for European Union (EU) candidate status, according to Kuleba.

Baerbock stated earlier this month that the German government is working with German companies to provide modern weapons to Ukraine.
