The next military meeting of the Ukrainian Defense Contact Group (UDCG), known as the ‘Ramstein format’ and taking place at the Ramstein military base in Germany, will be held in February and will be dedicated to combat aviation.
«We are very hopeful. Today the president said during his speech that the next Ramstein will be dedicated to aviation,» said the deputy head of the Ukrainian President’s Office, Adrii Sybiga.
In this regard, the official confirmed that the next meeting of the group will give rise to «a new reality» in the framework of the Russian conflict and, moreover, unofficially it could be called the «armored Ramstein», as Ukrainian news agency Unian reported.
The last meeting of the Defense group took place on January 20 and Ukraine’s allies did not reach an agreement regarding the delivery of German Leopard 2 tanks.
«Yes, we will still have to fight for the supply of modern tanks, but with each passing day it becomes clearer that there is no alternative to making the decision on tanks,» Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelensky stressed during his address to the nation last Friday.
Friday’s meeting was the eighth in a series of meetings of the Contact Group for Ukraine, founded in April 2022 at Washington’s initiative, to discuss current and future efforts to provide support to Ukraine in maintaining its sovereignty.
