After the meeting, Zelensky and Stoltenberg will speak to reporters, followed by the meeting of defence ministers from NATO member countries.

*"For the first time offline, I will attend the Ramstein format meeting. I have an important appeal to all the defence ministers present from the countries that are members of this powerful coalition. For the second time since the start of the full-scale war, I will hold talks in Brussels with the Prime Minister of Belgium, Alexander De Croo. The main thing is our common protection of freedom and people,"* Zelensky announced ahead of the Ramstein format meeting.
