Ramstein format of Ukraine aid will work in a new way

This year, the formats of assistance to Ukraine will be modified into "Ramstein 2.0".

This is reported with reference to the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.

The new format of assistance will mean that from now on, allies will help not on an individual basis, but in a coalition format, according to the current need.

"The Ministry of Defense calls on all countries to intensify their efforts to repel Russian aggression and join the coalition that best suits the capabilities of each of them in providing military assistance to Ukraine," the Defense Ministry writes.

The Ministry of Defense has also established a Coalition Support Office to ensure sustainable and systematic management of military assistance provided by allies.

As the ministry reminds, the coalition format was created in 2023. Since then, 8 coalitions have been created, including the Air Capabilities Coalition, the Air and Missile Defense Coalition, and others.

The tasks of the Support Office will be:

• ensure coordination and planning of work within the capability coalitions;

• ensuring interaction between the coalitions;

• analyzing the state of communications with partner countries.
