Plans to support Ukraine for the next two years across eight key areas, agreed upon with Kyiv, are set to be approved at the Ukraine Defence Contact Group meeting, also known as the Ramstein format, on 9 January.
Source Ukraines Defence Minister Rustem Umierov on Facebook, as reported by European Pravda Details Umierov said that before the main meeting, he had held a bilateral discussion with US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin to review preparations for the event and discuss key cooperation areas.
Today, coalition leaders are approving roadmaps for each of the eight areas of collaboration, outlining strategic goals and critical needs for military assistance through at least the end of 2027.
These documents, jointly developed and agreed upon by Ukraine and its partners, will serve as a foundation for sustaining support and allocating aid across areas such as air defence, artillery, armoured vehicles, drones, air force, maritime security and other critical sectors, the defence minister elaborated.
