Russia continues to shell Ukrainian cities and take Ukrainian lives. This, in turn, indicates the constant task of strengthening Ukraine's air defense, which will become the subject of Ramstein (Ukraine Defense Contact Groop meeting), said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in his evening speech.
The Head of State noted that the Ukrainian side is already preparing for the meeting in the Ramstein format.
Zelenskyy said that the meeting would be attended by dozens of partner countries, and among them are those who can increase Ukraine's capacity not only to defend against missiles but also to defend against guided bombs and Russian aircraft.
“We will talk to them about this, we will convince them that life needs to be protected here and now in Ukraine. And air defense systems must work for this. I want to thank all the partners who understand this and who help us with the development of the air shield,” the President summarized.
Yesterday, the media learned that a new meeting of UDCG in the Ramstein format would take place on Thursday, January 9.
On the same day, Pentagon spokesperson Sabrina Singh confirmed that the new Ramstein meeting would take place in January. It will focus on how to provide practical and coordinated steps to strengthen Ukraine's defense capabilities both now and in the future.
