RF Tale: Ukraine will require "Ramstin-11" to supply long-range missiles (video)

Representatives of Ukraine will persuade the Allies to provide the Armed Forces of long -range missiles for the development of the rear and logistics support of Russia. British media pay attention to another - a shortage of ammunition for air defense systems. The Ukrainian side will raise the issue of supply of long-range missiles at the 11th meeting of the Ramstein Defense Contact Group.

This was announced on April 20 on the air of the TV channel "Kiev" by the adviser to the head of the Presidential Office of Ukraine (OP) Mikhail Podolyak. "First of all, we will talk about long -range missiles from 100 to 300 kilometers. This is the main tool that will allow to prevent the rear and logistics support of Russia," he added. The second priority, according to the adviser, will be a conversation about the supply of shells of the caliber 155 mm.

"If possible-152, 122 and necessarily 105 mm. They will also accelerate the logistics of supplying Rembaz for armored vehicles. Well, the aviation component is constantly present at the negotiations," Podolyak added. In his opinion, any meeting of the Ministers of Defense of the Western countries in the format of "Ramstein" is first and foremost an audit of what is done and what needs to be done in terms of operational need for Ukraine.

"Summarize what has already been provided, given the military aid packages. Yesterday the United States was united, we expect the same packages from other countries, including from Spain," - said the adviser to the chairman of the OP. Another mandatory component is the assessment of the resource capacity of the Russian Federation. "What they have, what they use and what they built in terms of occupied fortifications.

Ramstin will decide what the need and what tools are needed now and today," he summarized. At a meeting with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky emphasized the acceleration of the necessary weapons on April 20. "Weapons that will strengthen our army should come faster than planned. I think it is important to discuss the weapon that Ukraine has been waiting for so long.

This is a training between our pilots missions, a long -range weapon, very specific, with very specific partners, with very specific quantity, "the President said. The regular meeting at the Ramstein Air Force is scheduled for April 21. Recall that the Commander -in -Chief of the Armed Forces Valery Zaluzhny spoke with the telephone with the Supreme Commander -in -Chief of the Joint Forces of NATO in Europe General Christopher Cavoli.

Commander -in -chiefs discussed the priority for Ukraine weapons, equipment and ammunition. On April 20, the Air Force Speaker of the Armed Forces Yuriy Ignat spoke about the need to replenish missile shortages and anti-aircraft missile complexes. According to him, in the fall and winter Ukrainian air defense systems destroyed 1. 5 thousand air goals of the enemy.
