The UK and Germany are spearheading a 50-day campaign to rapidly increase military aid to Ukraine, following a recent ultimatum from US President Donald Trump demanding Russia move toward a ceasefire or face harsher consequences.
At the latest Ramstein-format meeting, 52 countries convened online to coordinate support, with the UK and Germany pledging new air defense systems, including 220,000 Gepard shells and funding for drones. The initiative aims to pressure Russian President Vladimir Putin into negotiations by significantly boosting Ukraine's defensive capabilities in a short window. The UK has allocated £700 million for additional weapons and is considering joining a European effort to purchase US arms for Ukraine.
This coordinated push reflects growing urgency among NATO allies as Russia intensifies its attacks and the war drags on.
