The Ukrainian side will ask the partners for air defense systems (air defense) and missiles for them during a meeting at the Ramstein airbase in Germany. This was stated by the head of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine Oleksiy Reznikov.

"Strengthening air defense and missile defense (ABM) remains our number one priority," TASS quoted him as saying. According to Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova, statements by American politicians about the possibility of supplying F-16 fighters to Ukraine are an imitation of legal behavior and an attempt to mislead.
