On Thursday, April 10, a meeting of the "coalition of the willing" is planned to discuss the deployment of a military contingent in Ukraine. At the "Ramstein" meeting, which is scheduled for the next day, the supply of air defense systems to Ukraine, as well as additional defense packages, will be discussed. This was stated by the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy during a press conference with the Prime Minister of Belgium, Bart de Wever, reports UNN.
The 26th meeting ("Ramstein" - ed.) will definitely take place in Brussels. Our partners will be present. On Thursday, there will be a discussion of the "coalition of the willing" regarding the contingent. This is an important issue that will be on the agenda. On Friday, there will be a discussion of the issue of Patriot, the issue of air defense, the issue of additional defense packages, as well as the issue of uniting states that will be ready to open factories or weapons production lines in Ukraine
He noted that Great Britain and Germany "sent a signal" that the United States may not be present at the "Ramstein" meeting.
It seems to me that we have something to discuss with the Americans and we will believe that they will change their position, especially after today's news
Recall
The US will not participate in the meeting of the Contact Group on Defense of Ukraine. This raises concerns about a change in the US approach to military support for Kyiv.
British Prime Minister Kir Starmer said that the British Defense Minister will lead a new meeting of the Contact Group on Defense of Ukraine (in the "Ramstein" format) on April 11.
