'It would be crazy to drop the ball now' —Zelensky urges continued aid for Ukraine at Ramstein
Editor's note: This story is being updated.
President Volodymyr Zelensky arrived at the Ramstein airbase in Germany on Jan. 9 to take part in the Ukraine Defense Contact Group (UDCG) meeting.
Zelensky is expected to hold a series of bilateral meetings during the summit, which will be the last meeting before U.S. President-elect Donald Trump takes office.
"It's clear that a new chapter starts for Europe and the entire world starts just 11 days from now, when we have to cooperate even more, rely on each other even more, and achieve greater results together," Zelensky said in his opening address alongside U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin.
Trump's return to the White House has caused concern about the future of U.S. support for Ukraine. The president-elect has often criticized the Biden administration's assistance provided to Kyiv.
