**Ukraine Preparing for Important Decisions at Ramstein Meeting**
Ukraine is getting ready for a crucial meeting at the Ramstein conference, according to Foreign Ministry spokesperson Heorhii Tykhyi. The meeting will take place on February 12 in Brussels.
The Ramstein-format Ukraine Defense Contact Group (UDCG) summit has traditionally been held at the U.S. Ramstein Air Base in Germany. However, this year’s gathering will be hosted by London instead of the U.S.
Tykhyi said that decisions will likely be made about air defense and investments in Ukrainian weapons production during the meeting. He also praised the effectiveness of the Ramstein format, which includes over 50 countries, including all 32 NATO members.
**Russia Launches Drones**
In other news, Ukraine’s Air Force reported that Russia launched 112 Shahed combat drones and decoy drones overnight. The Air Force said that these drones were likely used to carry out a attack on Ukrainian targets.
**Ukraine’s Position on Ending the War**
The Ukrainian delegation will present its position on ending the war and achieving peace at the Ramstein meeting, according to Presidential Administration head Andriy Yermak. Ukraine is also seeking urgent funding for recovery efforts, energy resilience, and cyber defense projects, said Deputy Prime Minister Olha Stefanishyna.
**U.S.-Russia Relations**
The U.S. has imposed sanctions on Russia, but these sanctions are considered weak by some experts. Keith Kellogg, the special envoy for Ukraine and Russia, said that the current sanctions amount to a “3 on a 10-point scale” regarding economic pressure.
Ukraine wants Washington to be fully informed about its mobilization efforts and the supply of weapons and equipment, according to Presidential Office head Andriy Yermak.
