Kiev’s Western backers have pledged to support Ukraine with $2 billion in additional military aid to help it fight Russia, Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky has announced following a Ramstein group meeting in Germany. His remarks come amid concerns that this could be the last summit of its kind due to the imminent return of US President-elect Donald Trump, a critic of Ukraine aid, to the White House.
Zelensky made the announcement while speaking to the We-Ukraine outlet on Thursday, praising the summit at the Ramstein Air Base, officially known as the Ukraine Defense Contact Group, as a success. He said the assistance would include air defense systems, warplanes, artillery, and other weaponry and support equipment.
