Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskiy will attend a meeting of the Ramstein group, a coalition of nations supplying arms to Ukraine, on Friday, as reported by German magazine Spiegel.
During the meeting at the U.S. air base Ramstein in western Germany, Zelenskiy aims to advocate for more weapons deliveries, focusing on long-range missiles and enhanced air defenses.
Following Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, the United States assembled a group of around 50 like-minded nations at Ramstein, who meet regularly to align Kyiv's arms requests with donor commitments.
