Aid promised at Ramstein meeting covered air defence, information technology, demining, naval forces, air forces and artillery.
Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy said the latest in a series of meetings with Kyiv’s western allies in Germany had resulted in pledges of an additional $2bn in military assistance. Zelenskyy, speaking to My-Ukraina television channel after Thursday’s meeting of the Ukraine Defense Contact Group in Ramstein, gave few details of the assistance, but said that 34 countries had pledged support in different aspects of the 34-month-old war. “We had a very good meeting, a very good result.
“And if those in the United States now decide not to maintain this format any longer, then we will have to make our own decisions,” said Pistorius. “Our goal is to find as many instruments as possible to force Russia into peace,” Zelenskyy said. He endorsed the possibility of Nato countries sending troops to Ukraine, though he did not specify whether he meant combat troops or peacekeepers.
