Reznikov to meet with NATO Defense Ministers, Contact Group in Ramstein format

BRUSSELS. Oct 11 (Interfax-Ukraine) – Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksiy Reznikov will meet with the heads of defense departments of NATO member countries and take part in a meeting of the U.S.-led Contact Group on Ukraine.

This was announced by NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg at a press conference in Brussels on Tuesday on the eve of the meeting of NATO defense ministers to be held in Brussels on October 12-13. “Ukraine’s Defence Minister, Oleksii Reznikov, will join us tomorrow. Both for the U.S.-led Contact Group for Ukraine and for a dinner with NATO Ministers. Together, we will address Ukraine’s urgent needs,” he said.

Stoltenberg welcomed the recent statements by the allies about providing Ukraine with more advanced air defense systems and other means and expressed hope for further supplies. Our message is clear. NATO stands with Ukraine. For as long as it takes. President Putin started this war. He must end it. By withdrawing his forces from Ukraine. And President Lukashenko should stop the complicity of Belarus in this illegal conflict,” the Secretary General is convinced.
