U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin called on the Ramstein contact group to provide Ukraine with additional ground-based air defense systems and interceptors amid the ongoing war with Russia.
U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin has called on partners in the Ukraine Defense Contact Group to use opportunities to provide Ukraine with more air defense systems and interceptors. He said this during the 18th meeting in the Ramstein format, UNN reports.
Putin continues to sacrifice staggering numbers of Russian troops in his rash and reckless war of choice. And Putin hopes that missiles and drones will demoralize the Ukrainian people, and break the fighting spirit of the Ukrainian military. So I urge this group to dig deep to provide Ukraine with more lifesaving ground-based air-defense systems and interceptors,
