For weeks, the Ukrainian government has been asking its allies for more weapons assistance in the fight against Russia. Now the president apparently wants to make a personal appeal.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Selenskyj will also be arriving in Ramstein on Friday for talks on further support for Ukraine in the war against Russia. During his visit to the US air force base in Rhineland-Palatinate, he wants to clearly explain the seriousness of the situation to Western defense ministers and high-ranking military officials and ask for fresh arms deliveries, especially long-range missiles and air defense systems, the portal reported. When asked by the German Press Agency, the German government did not comment on the report.
