He specified that the meeting is planned as a remote online session, co-chaired by the UK and Germany, as with several previous meetings, since the new US administration declined to lead this format.
Background:
- The previous Ramstein-format meeting took place on 4 June at NATO headquarters in Brussels.
- Back then, Ukraine and its partners had agreed to create a defence production mechanism.
- It was the first time a US defense secretary skipped the Ramstein meeting.
