Western Allies Meet at Ramstein Air Base to Discuss Arms for Ukraine
Western defence leaders will gather at the US military air base of Ramstein in Germany on Friday to discuss further ways to help Ukraine defend itself from Russia.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has kept up his appeals to allies for more weapons to be sent at a quicker pace. Kiev is largely dependent on Western support for military equipment.
He is also pressing for Ukraine to be swiftly admitted to NATO. The issue, which came to the fore again on Thursday with NATO Secretary General Jens Stolltenberg’s visit to Kiev, has divided alliance members.
Zelensky is pushing for an “accelerated” accession. The United States and other NATO members, like Germany, have expressed reservations, given that one of the prerequisites for joining is not being involved in international conflicts.
Austin will hold a press conference at 4:30 pm alongside Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark Milley.
