Fedorov outlines Ukraines priorities at Ramstein: Air defense, drones, missiles, and long-range artillery ammunition
Minister of Defense Mykhailo Fedorov, at the 34th meeting of the Ukraine Defense Contact Group (Ramstein format), stated that Ukraines key priorities remain strengthening air defense, increasing production of Ukrainian drones and missiles, and building up stocks of long-range artillery ammunition.
"Colleagues, today we will present new initiatives aimed at strengthening our cooperation. True mutually beneficial partnerships. Our key priorities remain clear: air defense, increasing the number of Ukrainian drones and missiles, and sufficient stocks of long-range artillery ammunition. Together, we will move closer to a just and lasting peace," Fedorov said.
He emphasized that Ukraine seeks peace, and diplomatic efforts are ongoing.
"But diplomacy only works when Ukraine is strong on the battlefield, and Russias ability to continue this war is significantly reduced," the head of the department noted.
Fedorov recalled that at the last meeting, he presented Ukraines so-called military plan, built around three pillars: air, land, and economy.
"Today, I will briefly outline what we have achieved since then," the minister added.
The previous meeting of the Ukraine Defense Contact Group (Ramstein format) took place in February in Brussels.
