Zelensky to push for more arms aid at Ramstein meeting  - 1

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will take part tomorrow in the meeting of the so-called Ramstein format between the countries that supply arms to Ukraine, reported the German magazine "Spiegel", quoted by Reuters and BTA.

At a meeting between defense ministers at the US Ramstein Air Base in West Germany, Zelensky is expected to push for more arms supplies, particularly long-range missiles, as well as more anti-aircraft assets defense, the magazine notes.

After Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, the US created a group, now made up of about 50 countries, that meets regularly to match Kiev's arms demands with the pledges of donor countries.
