These are the big priorities,” the NATO chief emphasised, European Pravda reported. The announcement was made during the meeting in Berlin of the Ukraine Defense Contact Group, also known as the Ramstein , which coordinates military support for Ukraine among NATO members and partner countries. Too few countries share too much of the burden, and we have to address this. Supporting Ukraine’s fight is important – as important as ever,” Rutte said. The Ramstein meetings have become the primary platform for organizing and sustaining military assistance to Ukraine, bringing together more than 50 countries to align weapons deliveries, training programs, and logistics support. Prior to Wednesday’s meeting, Germany announced a €4 billion ($4.7 billion) defense package that includes hundreds of Patriot missiles, while the UK announced its largest drone package with over 120,000 drones.
