The so-called Ukraine contact group will meet at the US air base in Ramstein on Friday to vote on further military aid for Kiev (10:00 a.m.). It is the eleventh meeting of the group, which is made up of defense ministers from countries that support Ukraine.
The first meeting in the Ramstein format took place almost a year ago. As with previous meetings, US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin will chair the debate.
The Federal Ministry of Defense and NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg have indicated that the focus of the meeting will be on Ukraine’s air defenses. Kiev has long been demanding the delivery of modern fighter jets and long-range weapons. (AFP)
