Zelenskiy to attend Ramstein meeting, push for long-range missiles, Spiegel says

Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskiy will take part in a meeting of the so-called Ramstein group of nations supplying arms to Ukraine on Friday, German magazine Spiegel reported.

Zelenskiy is expected to push for more weapons deliveries, in particular long-range missiles and more air defences, during the gathering of defence ministers at the sprawling U.S. air base Ramstein in western Germany, Spiegel said on Thursday.

After Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, the United States gathered like-minded nations at Ramstein, establishing a group of now some 50 nations that meet regularly to match Kyiv's arms requests with pledges of donors.
