The January 20 meeting of the contact group participants in Germany on providing Ukraine with military assistance will strengthen Ukraine’s resilience, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said.
“Today is the day of ‘Ramstein’ and defense news for Ukraine, which week after week brings our diplomatic marathon… Overall, we can summarize that today’s ‘Ramstein’ will strengthen our resilience. The partners are principled in their attitude: they will support Ukraine as long as it is necessary for our victory,” Zelensky said in a video message.
Thus, according to the president, it was possible to significantly strengthen the Ukrainian “artillery fist” with guns and shells, there are also good results regarding armored vehicles. In particular, the arsenal was replenished with several hundred combat vehicles.
In addition, Zelensky noted, significant results have been achieved with rockets for MLRS.
At the same time, according to him, Ukraine still has to fight for the supply of modern tanks, but every day Ukraine makes it more obvious that there is no alternative to the decision on tanks.
He thanked all the partners who clearly supported the Ukrainian position in the discussions.
