Next Ramstein Meeting Scheduled for July 21

The next meeting of the Ukraine Defense Contact Group (Ramstein format) will be held on Monday, July 21. This was announced by the United Kingdom’s Joint Delegation to NATO on social media, Ukrinform reports. “On Monday (July 21), the United Kingdom and Germany will host the next meeting of the Ukraine Defense Contact Group,” the post reads. According to the announcement, the meeting will be attended by NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, NATO Supreme Allied Commander Europe General Alexis Grinkevich, U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, and dozens of allies and partners. The event will follow the recent “Coalition of the Willing” gathering co-hosted by British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron. “At that meeting, structures for military command and control of future multinational forces in Ukraine were agreed,” the post notes. While the post did not specify the format of the upcoming Ramstein meeting, on July 12, Christian Freuding — Chief of the Planning Staff at Germany’s Ministry of Defense — stated it would be held online. Earlier, Germany said it could not confirm former U.S. President Donald Trump’s claim that Patriot systems are already on their way to Ukraine. As reported, the last meeting of the Contact Group was held on June 4. It marked the first time the U.S. Secretary of Defense did not participate.
