The biggest partners of Ukraine are again meeting at the American base in Ramstein in West Germany, with the sole purpose of strengthening the capacities of the forces to defend Ukraine from Russian aggression.

And while the eyes of the world public are focused on this important geopolitical gathering in Germany, where details of the new military aid to Kiev, worth several billion dollars, should be disclosed, some of the world's analysts are in a dilemma. as plans to negotiate a possible peace with Moscow this fall as the superpowers bombard Ukraine with new sophisticated Western weaponry.

Namely, as what "Kiev Independent" writes at the meeting of the coalition participants in the so-called Ramstein format, special attention will be paid to strengthening the capacities of the Air Defense Forces of Ukraine, the Air Force Coalition, as and the activation of the defense industry of the participating countries, announced today the deputy spokeswoman of the US Department of Defense, Sabrina Singh.

"The key aspects of the meeting of the contact group on the defense of Ukraine will be the strengthening of the air defense capabilities of Ukraine, the restoration of the coalition capabilities of the Ukrainian forces, but also the activation of the industrial bases of the coalition countries to provide support to Ukraine on long term," she noted, according to a Pentagon statement released before the Ramstein meeting.

The representative of the US Department of Defense emphasized that Ukraine is important for both US and international security. According to her, the efforts of members of the contact group "will continue to play an important role in Ukraine's struggle for freedom and sovereignty."

Zelensky will be looking for long-range missiles as the West's budget for Ukraine for next year thins

In the meantime, according to the announcements, the meeting of the contact group for the defense of Ukraine should be held tomorrow at the Ramstein air base in Germany, for which Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is expected to arrive in the country today.

As he states "Deutsche Welle", before the meeting with the Western partners, Zelensky should also meet with the German Chancellor Olaf Scholz at a time when part of the German opposition fears that the new financial aid for Kyiv is insufficient and it should be limited, i.e. limited for financial reasons.

"German support for Ukraine is unwavering. We have taken preventive measures and secured contracts and financing in a timely manner, so that Ukraine can continue to fully rely on us in the future," said Scholz before the contact group meeting.

But as as the German media reports, in the new aid for Kyiv there are three billion euros less in the government's budget proposal. According to "DV", this is the message that Scholz will probably repeat when he meets privately with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky today in Frankfurt am Main. However, recently, doubts have arisen about this message, the media reports.

The reason for that is, of course, the shortened items in the budget proposal for the next year in who are they planned only four billion euros of aid for Ukraine. That is significantly less than this year's, which amounted to more than seven billion euros.

In addition, the media reports that an international loan was also intended to close the financial hole of Ukraine, with the help of using interest income from frozen Russian funds, which according to the writings of other world media is very unlikely that next year these incomes will be similar to those of the current year.

The German government denies that aid to Ukraine is being cut

Meanwhile, the German government denied the claims that military aid to Ukraine should be limited, that is, limited for financial reasons.

Aid to Ukraine will be provided "as long as it is necessary", the deputy spokesman of the German Government, Wolfgang Bichner, said recently.

With that, he denied the information that next year there will be no more budget funds available for that purpose than the already planned four billion euros.

"Nothing changes in our commitment and determination," Bichner asserted. A government spokesman called "disgraceful" speculation that the government allegedly wanted to send a signal ahead of state elections in East Germany that aid payments to Ukraine would be limited. It is an insinuation to claim that Ukraine should receive less support "because of some internal political aspect", emphasizes Bichner.
