President Volodymyr Zelenskyi held talks with the Federal Minister of Defense of Germany Boris Pistorius during the meeting of the Contact Group on Defense of Ukraine in the Rammstein format.
The head of state thanked Germany for its military support and noted the country’s leadership in strengthening Ukrainian air defense. Ukraine is grateful to Germany for the air defense systems provided and their contribution to the protection of life. Thanks to this help and Ukrainian-German cooperation, it was possible to save thousands of Ukrainian lives.
Volodymyr Zelenskyi and Boris Pistorius discussed the possibility of increasing the financing of military aid to Ukraine for 2025. This support is critically important for our country to strengthen Ukrainian positions on the battlefield. After all, this is the only way to put pressure on Russia and force it to a just and lasting peace.
Separately, the President emphasized that it is important to further strengthen Ukrainian air defense and provide Ukraine with additional air defense equipment. Boris Pistorius said that in the near future Germany will transfer additional missiles to the previously delivered systems.
During the meeting, they also discussed the future work of the “Ramstein” format and the possibility of financing the Ukrainian production of weapons and equipment according to the Danish model.
