Kyiv mayor pleads with US, Germany over threat of Russian invasion: ‘We can’t defend our country’

The mayor of Kyiv, Ukraine’s capital city, pleaded with the U.S. and Germany telling them, “We can’t defend our country” from Russia.

At the closing of the Munich Security Conference on Friday, Mayor Vitali Klitschko addressed U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock and said Kyiv needs “defensive weapons” to protect itself from its mammoth neighbor.

“We’re ready to fight, we’re ready to defend our families, our states, our cities, our citizens – we need support,” he said.
