US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin and the head of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Mark Milley, will travel to Germany on September 18 for the next meeting in the Ramstein format. Recently appointed Minister of Defense of Ukraine Rustem Umerov will hold his first personal meeting with Austin.
On September 19, the 15th meeting in the Ramstein format will take place, where Ukraine’s Western allies will discuss the next aid package for the Ukrainian Armed Forces. The new Minister of Defense of Ukraine Rustem Umerov will hold his first meeting with US Secretary of Defense L. Austin. Western weapons became a determining factor in the liberation of the occupied territories of Ukraine by the Ukrainian army: the meeting in the Ramstein format accelerated the provision of ammunition, artillery and air defense systems for the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
On the eve of the onset of cold weather, the supply of air defense to protect the Ukrainian sky becomes critically important, as the Russians will attack Ukraine’s energy infrastructure. Long-range missiles are an equally important priority for the Ukrainian Armed Forces. British Storm Shadow missiles proved the superiority of the Western military-industrial complex over the Russian one — with their help, the Ukrainian Armed Forces inflicted significant losses on the Russians. American ATACMS missiles will strengthen the offensive potential of the Ukrainian army and bring closer Ukraine’s victory over Russia.
The Ukrainian army is carrying out an effective counter-offensive, which was applauded by Ukraine’s Western partners. Right now is the best moment to increase the supply of weapons to the Ukrainian Armed Forces and bring their victory over Russia closer. The 15th meeting in the Ramstein format will be evidence of the West’s continued support for Ukraine.
