Minister of Foreign Affairs Dmytro Kuleba said that the next meeting in the Ramstein format regarding armed support of Ukraine will take place soon.

 He said this at an online briefing on January 4.

 "We have high hopes for new decisions regarding defense support from our partners. The next meeting in the Rammstein format will be held soon. It will be very important for the announcement of new decisions," the minister said.

 Kuleba also named the groups of weapons that the Ukrainian army needs most now. According to him, first of all, these are anti-aircraft and anti-missile defense systems and ammunition for them.

 "Therefore, we will hold negotiations not only on new Patriot batteries, but also on the supply of new NASAMS, IRIS-T, Crotal systems," the minister noted.

 Ukraine is also interested in additional anti-aircraft installations such as Gepard and Vulcan, portable anti-aircraft missile systems such as Stinger and others, as well as artillery shells of all calibers, Kuleba emphasized.

 He separately noted that Ukraine is currently working with partners to reach a new level of providing the armed forces with artillery systems and armored vehicles of all types.

 "Even children in Ukraine ask to bring a leopard under the Christmas tree. And we understand that children think not only about toy leopards. We not only think about this, but also work very, very hard. I spoke last year and I am convinced that in 2023 we we will get what we could not get in 2022 for various reasons. I can confirm that it will be like that, wait for the news," the minister emphasized.
