What are the results of the new "Ramstein" meeting for Ukraine
According to the minister, as of today, Ukraine's allies are interested in investing, financing and cooperating to strengthen the defense industry of our country.
Negotiations on this matter have already started. First of all, it is about the financing of Ukrainian-made weapons, missiles, and drones.
Rustem Umyerov drew attention to the fact that the United States announced the allocation of another package of military aid to Ukraine in the amount of 250 million dollars, which will include critical weapons and equipment, M2 Bradley fighting vehicles and missiles for HIMARS.
As for Canada, it promised to transfer a large batch of engines for unguided aerial missiles and 1,300 warheads for them.
In addition, we are also talking about thousands of machine guns and pistols, elements of military equipment and half a hundred "ambulances", which will help provide our medical needs on the battlefield.
In addition, Canada has taken on an important role in training Ukrainian pilots to fly the F-16 as part of the "FLIT" program. The government will allocate 389 million dollars for the 5-year training of pilots and technical personnel.

The Netherlands has officially confirmed that it will supply air-to-air missiles and support materials for F-16 aircraft worth 80 million euros to the Armed Forces.
Sweden has joined the demining coalition, pledging €5 million to the Coalition Fund to support demining efforts, while Spain will send a HAWK anti-aircraft missile battery that includes 6 launchers.
What is known about the signing of the Regulations of the Coalition of Maritime Capabilities
According to the minister, this is one of the key achievements of the new "Ramstein" meeting for Ukraine.
Great Britain and Norway assumed the leadership of this Coalition, and Ukraine is counting on the accession of other partner countries.
Umerov drew attention to the fact that work within the framework of the KMS will mean long-term support for Ukraine in ensuring security in the Black Sea.
This year, Ukraine places special emphasis on "sea defense". We have already driven enemy Russian ships off the shores of the Crimean peninsula. Together with our allies, we continue to implement the "Maritime Security Strategy".
