Earlier, the German newspaper Der Spiegel reported, citing sources, that Zelenskyy would participate in the Ramstein meeting in person.
According to the newspaper, the president wants to personally ask the allies for more weapons to defend against Russian aggression, primarily long-range missiles and air defense systems.
In recent months, Zelenskyy has repeatedly asked Western allies to lift restrictions on the use of long-range weapons supplied by them to strike military targets in the territory deep inside Russia.
