Ukraine cannot go "punch for punch" when confronting Russia militarily but must use resources carefully and act in an "asymmetric" fashion, Ukraine's new acting defence minister said in an interview published early on Wednesday.
Yevhenii Khmara gave the interview with right-wing U.S. blogger Laura Loomer in Kyiv, his first after his appointment as acting minister last week.
