Chancellor Scholz confirmed that the sixth planned IRIS-T air defense system will be delivered to Ukraine by the end of this year. We also discussed next year’s air defense deliveries and the potential for additional air defense assistance from Germany.
We coordinated steps to ensure the best possible defense and political support for Ukraine. We agreed on the importance of maintaining the “Ramstein” format and holding the next meeting of the coordination group.
