"This will be the eleventh Ramstein, it will take place at the Ramstein base," said the head of the Ministry of Defense.

The minister noted that the delivery of air defense systems will remain a priority during the new meeting.

Ukraine also needs armored vehicles and shells for heavy artillery.

In addition, deliveries of electronic warfare (EW), drones and anti-drones will be considered during the meeting.

Reznikov did not name the exact date of the new meeting at the Ramstein Air Base.

When asked about the supply of F-16 aircraft to Ukraine, Reznikov noted that this is "the most complex and expensive system that requires maintenance."

"Everyone is counting money. They are counting the money of their taxpayers. Accordingly, making a decision to provide us with planes means that all countries must be ready to give planes, with spare parts and maintenance. And it will no longer be about hundreds of millions of aid, but about billions. We must give belongs to our partners — if they make a decision, it is very responsible," Reznikov explained.

It will be recalled that earlier it was reported that Poland will soon

hand over four more MiG-29 fighters to the Ukrainian Armed Forces

.

So far, Ukraine has received four combat aircraft from Warsaw.

In addition, we previously reported that NATO believes that the Russians

are trying to compensate for the low quality of equipment and command in the battles for Bakhmut in Donetsk region with the amount of "cannon fodder"
