Ukraine Allies Convene in Ramstein as Uncertainty Looms Over Trump Presidency

Western nations pledge further military aid to Ukraine, but concerns grow over future U.S. support under the incoming administration.

  • The U.S. announced a $500 million military aid package for Ukraine, potentially the last under President Biden, including air defense missiles and F-16 support equipment.
  • Outgoing U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin emphasized the coalition's importance and urged allies to maintain support for Ukraine's survival and global security.
  • Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy appealed for continued assistance, warning that reducing aid could embolden Russia and destabilize global peace efforts.
  • Germany committed additional interceptors for the IRIS-T air defense system, while the U.K. and other European nations pledged 30,000 drones to bolster Ukraine's defense capabilities.
  • Uncertainty surrounds the future of the Ramstein coordination format under Donald Trump's administration, as allies discuss alternative leadership and structures for sustaining military aid.
