RAMSTEIN AIR BASE, Germany: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy appeared in-person at a meeting of Ukraine's international backers in Germany on Friday (Sep 6) to rally support for Kyiv days after
US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Ukrainian Defence Minister Rustem Umerov attend a meeting of the Ukraine Defence Contact Group at the Ramstein Air Base in Germany , on Sep 6, 2024.
The talks, with representatives from some 50 nations, will focus on areas including bolstering Ukraine's air defences and encouraging allies to boost their defence industries, said Pentagon spokesman Major General Pat Ryder. Since the start of its offensive in February 2022 when it failed to capture the Ukrainian capital Kyiv, Russia has adapted its aims, concentrating instead on trying to conquer eastern Ukraine.
"Thanks to the high morale, courage and professionalism of the brigade's fighters, Azov managed to stabilise the situation, regain control of part of New York," the Azov Brigade, fighting in the area, said on social media. France, another of Kyiv's biggest backers, has also been locked in a political crisis for several weeks.
Ahead of the meeting, Britain said it would send Kyiv 650 lightweight missiles before the end of the year to boost Ukraine's air defence capabilities.
