"We discussed with Boris the need to supply heavy weapons and air defense systems, economic support for Ukraine, increased sanctions pressure on Russia, in particular, the proposals of the McFaul-Yermak international group, as well as security guarantees for Ukraine and the need to compensate Russia for the damage caused to our state," it was reported.
