Zelensky to Attend “Ramstein” Meeting in Germany: Focus on Long-Range Missiles

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is set to participate in the upcoming meeting of the Ukraine Defense Contact Group on September 6, known as the Ramstein format

Zelensky aims to appeal to Western allies for additional military support, focusing on the supply of long-range missiles and air defense systems.

According to Spiegel, Zelensky's visit is intended to emphasize the critical situation in Ukraine as it continues to defend itself against Russian aggression. The Ukrainian president hopes to secure further weapon deliveries to bolster Ukraine's defense efforts.

The Pentagon confirmed that the meeting of the Contact Group, which brings together defense ministers from countries supporting Ukraine, will convene on September 6. This comes as Zelensky noted that only four nations currently provide Ukraine with long-range weapons, vital in its fight to reclaim territory and protect civilians.

Zelensky's attendance at the Ramstein meeting underscores the urgency of Ukraine's request for advanced military capabilities to continue resisting Russian forces.
