Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin III spoke with Ukrainian Minister of Defence Oleksii Reznikov to discuss priorities ahead of this week’s Ukraine Defense Contact Group (UDCG) meeting at Ramstein Air Base, Germany. This meeting will mark one year since Secretary Austin first convened the UDCG at Ramstein to coordinate security assistance, which has now brought together some fifty nations in support of Ukraine.
The two leaders pledged to remain in close contact.
