According to the procedure, each of the eight declared coalitions is headed by a leader country, which involves other member states. Thus, today, dozens of NATO countries are involved in all coalitions.
Also, countries such as Japan and Australia have already announced their intention to join or are considering joining various coalitions.
In 2024, the format of assistance to Ukraine will be modified into the so-called "Ramstein 2.0". This means that from now on, Ukraine's allies will provide their support mainly not on an individual basis, but in a coalition format and in accordance with the existing need
The Ministry of Defense also called on all countries to intensify their efforts to repel Russian aggression and join the coalition that best suits each country's capabilities in providing military assistance to Ukraine.
