The priority of the meeting of the Ukraine Defense Contact Group in the Ramstein format, held in Brussels, must be air defense.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said this in a post on Facebook, CE Report quotes Ukrinform.

"Today, a new Ramstein meeting is taking place in Brussels. Our priority is air defense, and it is very important that our partners hear us," Zelensky said.

He noted that "Ukrainians know how to be precise."

"We have already learned to shoot down a significant amount of Russia's weapons of terror. We just need to address the shortage of air defense systems to make our sky protection stronger," he said.

Zelensky added that Ukraine's partners could help with this, as well as speed up the implementation of all agreements reached earlier.

"Patriots that remain unused in storage with our partners should be protecting lives," he said.
