Germany has decided to transfer four IRIS-T air defense systems and 300 missiles for them, 30 missiles for the Patriot system, 15 Leopard 1 tanks, 25 Marder infantry fighting vehicles, and 100,000 artillery shells. In total, the total amount of assistance from Germany by 2029 will be 11 billion euros.
The United Kingdom will also provide assistance worth 450 million pounds, including hundreds of thousands of drones and radar systems.
Norway plans to allocate 100 million pounds to fund the British aid package and has additionally announced 1 billion euros for the purchase of ammunition and air defense systems, thus increasing military support for Ukraine to 5 billion euros by 2025.
Belgium announced a military aid package worth 1 billion euros, while Denmark presented its 25th package worth nearly 900 million euros.
Lithuania also plans to allocate 20 million euros for the purchase of ammunition, Estonia will soon provide 10,000 artillery shells, and the Netherlands will allocate 150 million euros to strengthen Ukraine's air defense.
An additional important outcome of the meeting was the creation of a new coalition of capabilities - a coalition for Electronic Warfare led by Germany.
At the meeting in Ramstein, the Ukrainian Minister of Defense held important meetings, including meetings with EU Commissioner Andrius Kubilius and EU High Representative Kaia Kallas. Agreements were reached on the establishment of a joint working group Ukraine-EU to analyze the possibilities for the implementation of projects in the field of armament, and it was also agreed that these two formats are key platforms for coordinating international assistance.
Prospects for long-term support for Ukraine were discussed in the 'Coalition of Willing' format. 'The Coalition of Willing is a new format for long-term support for Ukraine and security in Europe. This is also a strategic step towards modernizing the security architecture in Europe, which will be an adequate response to the ongoing threat from Russia,' said Ukrainian Defense Minister Rustem Umerov.
It is also worth mentioning that the UK and France are preparing a security guarantees plan for Ukraine, which will be considered by Trump.
