straight language: “I want to thank all the partners, all the ministers of defense – that’s 50 countries plus. We had a very good meeting today and a very good result. Additional packages of 2 billion dollars in support of Ukraine, plus, very importantly, eight coalitions of capabilities. This is already on paper, 34 countries already support these strategic coalitions.”
Details: The head of state also announced that during the meeting the question of whether the Rammstein format would be extended was not raised. “Because everyone understands that the next meeting is in February, everyone has already agreed on it. This platform, where so many countries meet, is important for us. It is important that it continues its work,” the head of state emphasized.
Among the important results of “Ramstein” Zelenskyy named the guaranteed supply of additional air defense systems.
straight language: “We have confirmation, we have support. Not all 19 systems, I will say frankly, but there is a fairly serious number of systems that have been guaranteed by partners. We will work to ensure that the systems arrive faster.”
