KYIV:
Zelenskyy said that dozens of partner countries will participate in the meeting of the Ramstein group at Ramstein Air Base in Germany on Thursday, "including those who can help boost our capabilities not only to defend against missiles but also against guided bombs and Russian aviation."
"We will discuss this with them and continue to persuade them," Zelenskyy said in his nightly address on Saturday. "The task remains unchanged: strengthening our air defence."
US Defence Secretary Lloyd J. Austin will attend the meeting, which had originally been due to take place in October and to be attended by US President Joe Biden. It was postponed because of response to Hurricane Milton that battered the US.
In its last few weeks in office, the Biden administration has been pressing to send as much military aid as possible to Ukraine before Trump is sworn in January 20.
