Ukraine’s allies, pressed by Volodymyr Zelensky to deliver more weapons and ammunition, meet in Germany on Friday to coordinate their military aid to Kiev, which says it is preparing a major counter-offensive. Organized on the American base of Ramstein, in the south of Germany, by the American Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, the meeting will also take place in the presence of the boss of NATO, who has just returned from Kiev.
Between insufficient stocks, fear of escalation and logistical problems, Europeans and Americans have been more cautious than kyiv would have liked. The delivery of fighters to Ukraine divides kyiv’s supporters in particular, with Germany being particularly reluctant. Slovakia and Poland have started delivering Soviet-designed Mig-29 fighter jets to Ukraine.
