Ukraine will be provided with artillery ammunition and more missiles for air defense systems (AD). This was announced by the Minister of Defense of Ukraine, Rustem Umerov, on his Facebook page following a meeting of the contact group to support his country.
He noted that ammunition was the main topic of the meeting, which took place at the Ramstein Air Base in Germany. According to the minister, the partners will send military aid packages to Kyiv, which will include 155mm, 152mm, and 105mm artillery shells.
“There will be more missiles for our air defense systems,” he wrote.
The head of the defense department also noted that several more countries have joined the “drone coalition and made contributions,” and the first deliveries of unmanned aerial vehicles to Ukraine are expected in March.
In addition, he stated that F-16 fighters should also “help close” the Ukrainian sky. He added that Kyiv is actively working with all partners, including the United States, Denmark, Belgium, the Netherlands, Romania, and others, to have these aircraft in Ukraine “as soon as possible.”
The day before, the Pentagon chief, Lloyd Austin, stated that the United States intends to provide Kyiv with everything necessary for the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) and will not allow Ukraine to fall.
Earlier, the AFU complained about the “trick” of the Russian army.
