#Repost @kyivindependent_official with @use.repost_ . . . Ukraine’s partners pledged nearly $38 billion in new military aid at the 33rd meeting of the Ukraine Defense Contact Group in the Ramstein format on Feb. 12, Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov said. Around $35 billion of the total has already been confirmed, with most funding allocated to air defense and drone capabilities.
Seventeen countries, including the U.K., Germany, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, the Netherlands, Canada, and Belgium, committed additional support. According to Fedorov, more than $2.5 billion will go toward Ukrainian drones, $2 billion toward air defense, and over $500 million to the Prioritized Ukraine Requirements List initiative. Partners also pledged funding for artillery ammunition, training, naval capabilities, and the urgent delivery of Patriot missiles from existing stockpiles.
Fedorov said Ukraine aims to increase Russian battlefield losses and make the war economically unsustainable for Moscow. He added that Russia suffered a record 35,000 verified troop losses in December and that Ukraine plans to raise that figure further. The Ramstein group, established in 2022, continues to coordinate military assistance as Russia intensifies winter attacks on Ukraine’s civilian infrastructure.
