KYIV, Ukraine — Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksiy Reznikov says that the reluctance of Kyiv’s Western allies to send jets to war-torn Ukraine will cost it “more lives.”
“I am sure that we will win this war, I am sure we will liberate all the occupied territories,” Reznikov tells reporters in Kyiv. But without the delivery of Western jets, “it will cost us more lives.”
