Ukrainian Defense Minister Rustem Umerov is set to present a report on new military aid packages for Ukraine from international partners, according to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

"I expect a report from the defense minister on new support packages, primarily air defense systems, and investments in our defense industry. These are truly key priorities for us," the Ukrainian president emphasized.

According to Zelenskyy, European partners are making new decisions on aid for Ukraine almost daily. However, the main priority is to implement these decisions as quickly as possible.

The president stressed the importance of coordinating efforts with partners to ensure effective defense and do everything possible to bring peace closer.

"Today, our teams — Ukraine and the United Kingdom — worked here in Kyiv on steps that can help. We continue to communicate very actively with all Europeans. In the coming days, there will be many meetings and discussions. I believe there will be decisions," he added.

Recently, the Netherlands announced plans to allocate $760 million (€700 million) for drones for Ukraine. Additionally, Ukraine and the Netherlands discussed specific steps to improve defense against Russian missiles and drones.

Meanwhile, Germany has approved a new $3.3 billion (€3 billion) military aid package for Ukraine this week. The German government now aims to secure the swift allocation of funds for this package.

Poland has also begun delivering aid to Ukraine as part of its 46th support package, worth $220 million (€200 million).
