Quote: "During today’s 20th Ramstein-format meeting, the coalition of partner states demonstrated their unity and activeness in their support for Ukraine.
The ammunition is what our soldiers critically need. There will be ammunition! This was the main topic of the meeting. The partners reported about the aid packages, which include 155 mm, 152 mm, 105 mm shells and others. We are grateful to our partners who search for and find the ammunition worldwide, which is so much needed to fight the aggressor.
There will be air defence [missiles] needed to protect our cities, to protect our soldiers from the Russian aircraft which drop guided aerial bombs on our positions. There will be more missiles for our air defence systems. I am grateful to the German Defence Minister who noted that the sky above Ukraine belongs to Ukrainians. So our common task is to facilitate Ukraine’s air superiority".
Details: Umierov added that Ukraine was working jointly with the US, Denmark, Belgium, the Netherlands and Romania to receive the F-16 fighter jets as soon as possible.
