Next week, a meeting in the “Ramstein” format is due to take place, and preparations are also under way for a meeting of members of the Coalition of the Willing.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said this in his evening video address on 15 November.
“Next week there will be a Ramstein meeting, and it must deliver results. This will be a strong signal — a signal to Russia that Ukraine will not be left without support. Our priorities are air defence, and partners need to focus on missiles for Patriots and for NASAMS: the Russian ballistic threat remains very serious, and there is intelligence information about preparations for new strikes,” the head of state said.
Zelenskyy added that work would continue with partners to increase drone production.
The President also spoke about a meeting of the Coalition of the Willing and a review of the work of other coalitions.
“We are preparing a meeting of the Coalition of the Willing — an important meeting that could be historic. We can define a fully strong European position for negotiations. The trilateral format — Ukraine, America, Russia — should become not just a four-party format, but an order of magnitude stronger. We are also preparing a review of the work of the existing coalitions supporting Ukraine: which ones are truly fulfilling their tasks, and which remain empty,” the head of state said.
