Ukraine asks international partners to take four steps to save Ukrainian citizens: provide modern air defense systems, cruise missiles or ammunition for multiple rocket launchers, impose an oil embargo and total closure of ports for Russian ships.

Mykhailo Podoliak, an adviser to the head of the President's Office, said this on Twitter, Ukrinform reports.

"Dear partners! It takes 4 steps not to see our dead kids' eyes or not to smell burned Mariupol in your dreams. 1. Modern air defense, if you can’t close the sky 2. Cruise missiles or shells for heavy rockets 3. Tough oil embargo 4. Closed ports for Russian ships around the world," Podoliak wrote.

On February 24, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Russian troops have been shelling and destroying infrastructure, residential areas of Ukrainian cities and villages using artillery, multiple rocket launchers and ballistic missiles.

Martial law was imposed in Ukraine and general mobilization was announced.
