Details of ‘aircraft coalition’ to be discussed at Ramstein format meeting in June – Reznikov
The details of the "aircraft coalition", as well as everything related to air defense, ammunition, and artillery, will be discussed at the Ramstein format meeting in June.
"First of all, we expect a similar level of support from our partners. During the meeting, we will discuss the details of the ‘aircraft coalition’. In this case, we are talking about the training of pilots and not only pilots but also our technicians and engineers who will deal with aircraft maintenance. Because this is a very complex system. The issue will be discussed meaningfully with the teams of the defense ministries of the Netherlands, Denmark, the USA, and other countries that have joined this coalition," Minister of Defense of Ukraine Oleksii Reznikov stated, Ukrinform reports with reference to the Ministry of Defense.
Reznikov emphasized that he had already included representatives of the Air Force of Ukraine in the Ukrainian delegation. "The Air Force commander, Lieutenant General Mykola Oleshchuk, identified the responsible officers who oversee the training of pilots and logistical issues," he clarified.
"Then everything related to air defense, ammunition, artillery [will be discussed]. Our priorities have not changed. This war is a war of resources. Resources are not only weapons but also the ability to repair and maintain them and everything related to this. Therefore, the opening of various types of hubs for repairing and maintaining equipment is important to us. Both in the territory of Ukraine, together with partners, and in friendly bordering countries," the minister summed up.
As reported, the next Ukraine Defense Contact Group meeting will take place on June 15.
