Minister of Defence of Ukraine Yevhen Khmara held talks with UK Secretary of State for Defence Wes Streeting ahead of the Ramstein meeting. The defense leaders raised the next aid package, aviation support, and industrial cooperation. This is reported by the portal PromPolitInform, citing information from the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine.
During the talks, heads of defence ministries reviewed details of the upcoming military assistance package for the Ukrainian armed forces. The measures under discussion aim to meet the critical requirements of the Defence Forces of Ukraine.
Aviation capabilities and drone countermeasures
Strengthening Ukraine’s aviation capabilities, particularly aircraft ammunition supplies, formed a key topic of discussion. The Ukrainian official expressed gratitude to the United Kingdom for the recent delivery of LMM missiles.
The parties also detailed options to accelerate deliveries of equipment effective against jet-powered unmanned aerial vehicles.
Launch of joint defence production ventures
Cooperation between the defence industrial bases of both nations served as another key focus area. Officials evaluated launching joint defence enterprises, with work on respective formal agreements currently underway.
Ukraine is already expanding joint production capacity with several partner nations while working to launch new initiatives. Developing defence industrial complexes has been set as a top priority for 2027, offering partners an opportunity to bolster Ukraine while driving their own industrial growth.
