Ukraine has asked its Western allies to supply an additional 1,000 artillery guns in order to put them on a level footing with Russian forces in the Donbas (pictured, a US M777 howitzer)

Daily Mail: What we need to win the war: Kyiv demands HUGE supply of 500 tanks, 300 rocket systems and 1,000 howitzers to beat Russia as fighting rages in Donbas city with Ukrainian troops told to 'surrender or die' 

* Mykhailo Podolyak, top adviser to Zelensky, has issued 'shopping list' of heavy equipment Kyiv says it needs to defeat the Russian invasion 

* Includes 1,000 howitzers, 300 rocket systems, 500 tanks and 1,000 drones 

* Eye-watering list amounts to an army's-worth of new equipment and goes well beyond what Western allies have supplied so far 

* Comes as Ukrainian troops in Severodonetsk give 'surrender or die' ultimatum 

Volodymyr Zelensky's top adviser has told the West to dramatically step up deliveries of heavy weapons if Ukraine is to defeat Russia's invasion. 

Mykhailo Podolyak said Monday that Kyiv needs 1,000 howitzers, 300 rocket artillery systems, 500 tanks, 2,000 armoured vehicles and 1,000 drones 'to end the war'. 

The eye-watering shopping list amounts to an army's-worth of Western equipment and goes well beyond both what has been supplied so far and what Ukraine itself has been requesting.
