Minister of Defense of Ukraine Mykhailo Fedorov held meetings in Brussels ahead of the “Ramstein” Defense Contact Group session.
He met with:
- EU Commissioner for Defense and Space Andrius Kubilius
- EU High Representative Kaja Kallas
- Romanian Defense Minister Radu-Dinel Miruțe
- Lithuanian Defense Minister Robertas Kaunas
- Danish Defense Minister Troels Poulsen
- Dutch Defense Minister Ruben Brekelmans
- Italian Defense Minister Guido Crosetto
- German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius
- Swedish Defense Minister Pål Jonson
They discussed:
- New contributions to the PURL program for acquiring critical air-defense assets
- Funding for Ukrainian drones and missiles
- Development of joint defense projects and cooperation in the defense-industrial sector
“One of our goals is to build win-win relationships with partners. This is key to fulfilling the goals set by the President: protect the sky, stop the enemy on land and sea, weaken its economy, and act against it in the cognitive domain”, — Fedorov said.
Ukraine is forming a new defense model — low-cost technological solutions, rapid innovation cycles, and data-driven command.
Fedorov also spoke at the EU Council and thanked for the decision to allocate €90 billion in financial support to Ukraine.
The next “Ramstein” meeting will take place at NATO Headquarters in Brussels on February 12.
