The topic of discussion at the Ramstein meeting scheduled for June 13 in Brussels will be strengthening Ukraine's air defense capabilities, according to deputy spokesperson for the US Department of Defense Sabrina Singh.

The Pentagon spokesperson reminds that air defense is a priority for Ukraine.

"It's something that they need, whether it be in the Patriot or other forms. And so I'm sure that's going to be a topic of discussion tomorrow at the UDCG," she says.
