January 9 at the airbase “Ramstein” will host the next meeting of the contact group on Ukrainian defense issues.
This was reported by “URA-Inform” with reference to the Polish publication 300 Politika.
However, According to Polish Defense Minister Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz, this meeting could be the last in the current format. The new U.S. administration is likely to propose a different approach to coordinating defense assistance.
The minister noted that NATO should take on more burden in ensuring Europe's security. This is especially relevant in the context of new challenges related to the war in Ukraine. Poland, Germany and Italy already lead the coalition of armored forces, and their experience will be key at the upcoming meeting.
As part of the meeting, Participants will present reports on the progress achieved and discuss plans for further cooperation. Rammstein remains a symbol of international support for Ukraine, and even in the new format, the meetings will retain their importance for strengthening the country's defense capability.
But despite the above, Zelensky announced preparations for “Rammstein”.
