Support for Ukraine and messages to Putin
Apparently, the head of the Contact Group, Lloyd Austin, stated the high price that Russia is paying for the war against Ukraine. In his words, at least 315 thousand Russian troops died or were wounded. Moscow spent 211 billion dollars on the outbreak of military operations and military operations, and another close to 1.3 trillion dollars was spent on potential economic growth.
“Ukraine recognizes the wrongful expenditures, and yet it proceeds to destroy Russian ships. We know that the minds in which the Ukrainian army is fighting are extremely important. Unfortunately, the civilian population suffers from the attacks of the Russian security forces Yolotnikov. Therefore, today our message is clear: the United States should not be allowed to “If Ukraine fails, our coalition and the whole world will not allow this to happen,” the chief told the Pentagon.
In his words, today's “Ramstein” can determine what Ukraine will demand here and now in order to stand up to aggression RF . We are very vocal about the contribution of the Czech Republic, which has found a way to displace artillery shells.

The fierce Czech President Peter Pavel announced the possibility of buying 800,000 shells (worth 1.5 billion dollars) from third countries, after which the allies began to see costs under this initiative. At the beginning of the winter, it became clear that the need for funding had been collected. At the moment, the first batch of 300,000 units is ready. As WSJ writes, the potential initiative of Prague can ensure the supply of another 700,000 shells.
Negotiations were also held today with the leaders of Estonia, Denmark, Germany, Iceland, and waist, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway and Poland within the framework of the coalition of efforts. The allies discussed the supply of drones, the beginning, as well as the coordination of the defense industry.
“The coalition has effectively pushed forward with progress over the past few years. We will continue to work at once to open the gaps and ensure funding for the most urgent situations,” said the US Secretary of Defense.
Vi and also calling Ukraine’s support an investment in the security of Europe and the world.
“If Putin reaches his own, he will put all of us under threat. We believe that in such a scenario the world will be constrained by violence. And, obviously, in other empires there will be a chance to renew their empire these cordons… We are deprived of the united and strong “, the nourishment of Ukraine's freedom is important for all of us. That's why we have to do everything so that Putin gets a foothold in Ukraine. We know that he wants to go further, otherwise Ukraine can stop yogo, because we support the country in Ukraine, transferred to the necessary armor for defense, “We are investing in our security. We will continue to lose money against Putin,” added Ostin.
Defense Minister Rustem Umerov welcomed the Ukrainian delegation to the Ramstein. As the department stated, Ukraine saw the following priorities in today's battle:
- PPO systems and missiles before them
- long-range missiles
- artillery shells (especially NATO 155-mm caliber)
- radio-electronic warfare (REW) and reconnaissance (REW) systems
- armored equipment
The “Ramstein” format will continue , when billionaires from the USA – no forecasts
After the official part, Austin and the head of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, Charles Brown, came out before the press. The stench repeated the chant in the distant Ukrainian region, and there were no further announcements of help.
Zokrema, Brown recalled a quote from the 32nd President of the United States, Franklin Roosevelt, about those who once the world was kidnapped into any region, then the same happened to the whole world.
“We are convinced that through those who have stolen the world in Ukraine, they have stolen it for the whole world. Russia intends to recapture the world, while we insist that we cannot give Ukraine the necessary help. We cannot allow anything… Collective p Ukraine's inspiration to force “They are on the battlefield. Therefore, the United States will continue to support Ukraine. We believe that the world is in trouble, everything is based on strong efforts, so we will continue to align ourselves with the Ramstein format,” he said.

Pentagon Chief Lloyd Austin was also asked about the risks of the Russian invasion at the front.
“We have learned that Russia is often able to achieve minor military victories. They are putting great resources into the hands of these cleptics of the earth that will drown. And they gave in their fatherlyism. So, they will require ammunition, help, to continue chewing defense. And here I just want to add that we are confident that Ukraine’s aid package will soon be praised,” he said.
Behind his words, everything is left to the US Congress, which will be difficult to make any forecasts regarding the terms. Tim is no less, as long as Washington's support is necessary, he is optimistic that specific terms will be allocated without delay.
In addition, Austin is in need of power supply, and it is not possible to reformat “Ramstein” and hold meetings of Ukrainian partners on the Maidan NATO. In my opinion, the new format has shown its effectiveness, since 20 meetings have been attended by “a large number of participants to determine the ability to help Ukraine.”
“It is here that Ukraine is at the forefront of respect. We see the need for assistance from the long-term perspective, so that its possibilities do not change, but rather increase. It is important to channel aggression not just today, but in the future. song transformation (“Ramstein” – ed.) will be, unless there are changes, that at this stage this format is effective enough to give Ukraine everything it requires. I think that the next one will lose this format unchanged,” he said. p>Germany's allies announced that they will help.
German Minister of Defense Boris Pistorius announced a new aid package worth 500 million euros.
“This is a “German package.” Germany also supports the defense of Ukraine against Russia ї aggressive war in the short-term perspective with distant ones supplies of ammunition”, – indicating VIN.

It is planned that as part of this package, German will supply 10 thousand artillery shells from Boone stockpiles desveru. In addition, 100 combat vehicles and 100 transport vehicles will come here.
As dpa writes, with this package, Berlin’s extra aid in 2024 will reach 7 billion euros. This amount also includes funds allocated for the Czech initiative from the purchase of shells. Thus, the German side will finance the purchase of 180 thousand shells. It also became clear that the order was to steal another 100 thousand shells from the German industry. The remaining two points are the middle of the long-term support.
Significantly, today before Pistorius’s meetings they talked about those who could Ukraine insure on new products about Taurus aircraft missiles from long-range action close 500 km, just after that “There are no new things.” There is a sufficient quantity of artillery ammunition, long-range rocket artillery and PPO with “true existential nutrition”, adding wine.
As stated by Chancellor Olaf Scholz, the military will assist the most important envoys to Putin. In his words, it is clear that the hope for this view of Ukraine is predatory and “it is not the fault of the US to elect a president who likes Ukraine.”
Finland
Finnish Minister of Defense Antti Hakkanen Having announced that in a meeting with the Chief of the General Staff of the Czech Republic Karel Rzheka, they discussed a Czech initiative to purchase hundreds of thousands of ammunition for Ukraine.
“Finland is taking part in this initiative, having seen 30 million euros,” he said.
Previously, the President of Romania Klaus Johannis praised the transit of combat boats, like Finland I transferred it to Ukraine. The number and specific type of vessels are not discussed. It is also reported that approximately 50 troops from Ukraine will undergo training on Romanian territory.

Last year, Belgium gave green light to a great aid package for Ukraine. Yak said the defense of the defense of Lyudin Dender, a package on the dodatkovi 412 million єvro warehouses with the TROOH unit.

It appears that the alliance with the Netherlands will transfer three anti-mine ships to the Alkmaar class. Belgium undertakes the basic training of a special warehouse at the Military and Naval Academy, technical maintenance of minesweepers to guarantee their seaworthiness and efficiency, and the Netherlands – the formation of crews on board Issyakh.
Another part is transferring the purchase of armored vehicles for the Swedish emergency service from joint initiative of the Benelux region. It appears that there are plans to modernize them before handing them over. In addition, it is planned to purchase extensively reconnaissance drones and transfer approximately 300 Lynx Light Multirole Vehicle (LMV) armored vehicles.
How to write ZMI, these are the army's rich armored cars of the Italian manufacturer Iveco LMV. The main functions are reconnaissance, patrolling, communication security, support and maintenance. The vehicle can be equipped with a separate machine gun.
The largest part of the package – 373.1 million euros – will go towards the supply of artillery ammunition from Belgian stocks, as well as through international groups and purchased.
Denmark
Last year, Denmark announced a package worth 330 million dollars. Until then, Caesar self-propelled artillery mounts, self-propelled 120-mm mortars and ammunition before them will be gone. It was also reported that Caesar howitzers are available from France, and 155-mm shells from Estonia and the Czech Republic.
“Artillery and mortar systems are pouring great force on the side of Ukraine. With this package of assistance we are making a significant contribution to the fight for freedom of Ukraine… The assistance is provided in cooperation with our allies and sends an important signal about those we support “to Ukraine on a broad front,” he said Danish Minister of Defense Troels Lund Poulsen.
USA
Also last year, the White House saw a package worth 300 million dollars – the first from the past year. Newly introduced:
- anti-aircraft missiles-survival
- GMLRS missiles to HIMARS rocket systems
- 155-mm artillery shells (including high-explosive fragmentation and cassette shells )
- 105-mm artillery shells
- 84 anti-tank systems
As the adviser to the US President for National Security, Jake Sullivan, stated, this package will be spent on a few thousand years. Additional help became possible through savings on contracts. Apparently, the Pentagon still has close to 4 billion dollars in reserves for Ukraine from its warehouses, but Washington is in no hurry to get involved in funding, and has not spared a penny to replenish reserves.
Speaker to the Pentagon Sabrina Singh forwarded the birch bag being unique and having the ability to be repeated will not be possible. Further support for Ukraine will lie until the US Congress votes on billions of dollars in aid. It turns out that 60 billion dollars can be unlocked from the bank. However, Republicans in Congress seriously view this part of the administration of Joe Biden as costless loans, and not grants, as was the case before. Apparently, for whom a new bill may still be prepared.
