Defense Minister of Ukraine Rustem Umerov announced the agreements reached at the 24th Ramstein meeting held at the US Air Force Base in the city of Ramstein-Miesenbach in Germany.

Umerov specifies that the USA has announced a new package of military aid for Ukraine worth 250 million dollars. This package includes critical weapons and equipment, M2 Bradley Fighting Vehicles and HIMARS missiles.

Umerov says Canada will provide a large batch of engines for air-guided missiles and 1.300 warheads for them, "which will significantly strengthen our capabilities in air operations." The package also includes thousands of machine guns and pistols, military equipment and fifty "medical vehicles", which will help meet medical needs at the front.

 

In addition, Canada is taking an important role in training Ukrainian pilots to operate the F-16 under the FLIT program. The government will allocate 389 million dollars for the five-year training of pilots and technical personnel.

Meanwhile, the UK will supply 650 light multiple rocket missiles (LMMs) worth £162m. The Netherlands will provide air-to-air missiles and support material for the F-16 aircraft worth 80 million euros.

Sweden has joined the demining coalition, pledging five million euros to a coalition fund to support demining efforts, while Spain will send a battery of HAVK anti-aircraft missiles that includes six launchers.

- Another key result of the meeting with the allies is the signing of the Regulations for the Coalition for Maritime Capacities, stated Umerov.
