Ukraine is demanding tougher sanctions and more weapons to ward off Russia in the Donbass

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said a new package of Western sanctions against Russia was too lenient as he accused Russian forces of destroying evidence of killings in areas under their control.

Western nations are rushing to supply Ukrainian forces with more weapons, but Ukraine’s foreign minister Dmytro Kuleba on Thursday urged NATO countries to provide more arms and speed up supplies to roll back a Russian offensive in eastern Ukraine and prevent more civilian killings.
