The minister also said that Ukraine would be getting additional security assistance beyond what’s been publicly announced.
“Ukraine will continue its fight for freedom and independence; our partners will continue to support Ukraine; NATO has the greatest unity in its history; Ukraine will win,” said Reznikov.
The June 15 meeting concluded with Slovakia pledging to supply Ukraine with Mi-17 helicopters; Canada, Poland, and the Netherlands announcing additional artillery shipments, and Germany making promises to deliver three Mars II MLRS.
During a phone call with his Ukrainian counterpart, U.S. President Joe Biden said that Washington was preparing another $1 billion military aid package for Ukraine.
According to U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, the package will include high-precision MLRS munitions, 18 M777 howitzers, 36,000 155mm artillery rounds, two Harpoon anti-ship missile coastal batteries, and various infantry equipment.
