On September 19, the 15th Ramstein meeting will be held in Germany. Among those attending will be Ukraine's new Defense Minister Rustem Umerov, who will hold his first meeting with U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin since his election to the post. Against the backdrop of a successful counteroffensive by the Ukrainian Armed Forces, this meeting will send a positive signal to Ukraine as it defends its freedom and independence
The last meeting in the Ramstein format took place on July 18, when the main priority was the provision of air defense equipment for the Ukrainian armed forces. Today, these weapons are still relevant: on the eve of the impending cold weather, the Russians are stockpiling missiles to terrorize Ukraine's energy infrastructure in order to deprive Ukrainians of electricity and heat. Therefore, modern air defense systems capable of shooting down ballistic missiles, as well as sufficient ammunition for them, are the key to saving the lives of thousands of Ukrainian civilians.
Long-range missiles are a separate, no less important priority for the AFU. The use of British Storm Shadow missiles has shown how vulnerable Russian military equipment and armament depots are - the Russian military-industrial complex cannot compete with the Western one. Accordingly, if the AFU receives U.S. long-range ATACMS missiles, their further use against legitimate military targets in the occupied territories of the AFU will cause a strategic turning point in the war and accelerate the defeat of the Russians.
The 15th Ramstein meeting is a clear indication of the growing support for the Ukrainian Armed Forces and a strong signal that the West will stand with Ukraine until its complete victory over the Russian Federation. Modern Western weapons are the only way to stop the genocide of Ukrainians committed by the Russian army. Its supplies must be stable and timely - with their help, the Ukrainian army will liberate Ukraine's territories and bring peace back to Europe.
