Ukraine does not expect foreign troops to come and fight for Kyiv. However, Ukraine expects to get military technical assistance, Pres Poroshenko said Aug. 30 following his meeting with EC President Jose Manuel Barroso, Interfax-Ukrayina reports.
“Ukraine is quite able to defend itself. We don’t want foreign soldiers to fight for our independence and integrity,” Poroshenko said.
But Ukraine needs military technical aid from the West.
Poroshenko said Ukraine expects to receive non-lethal weaponry and equipment, praising EU for its readiness to help in this sector.
