Ukraine’s Defence Minister Yevhenii Khmara held talks with UK Defence Secretary Wes Streeting ahead of a meeting in the “Ramstein” format. The sides discussed the next package of military assistance and options for speeding up the delivery of weapons.
This was reported by Ukraine’s Ministry of Defence.
During the conversation, the sides discussed the details of the next aid package, which takes into account Ukraine’s critical needs.
They also discussed strengthening the aviation capabilities of Ukraine’s forces, including the supply of munitions for aircraft.
Yevhenii Khmara thanked the British side for the recent transfer of LMM missiles. The ministers also considered ways to accelerate deliveries of systems effective at destroying jet-powered unmanned aerial vehicles.
Another topic of the talks was the establishment of joint defence enterprises. According to Khmara, work on the relevant agreements is ongoing.
“Ukraine is already developing joint production with a number of countries and is working to launch new ones. One of the priorities for 2027 is the development of the defence-industrial complexes of Ukraine and partner countries. For partners, this is an opportunity to strengthen Ukraine and accelerate the development of their own defence industry,” the minister stressed.
