General Mark Milley promises to help achieve Ukraine’s goals   

Mark Milley said this during the press conference following Ramstein-10.

“Right now, as you know, there is a significant ongoing effort to build up the Ukrainian military, in terms of equipment, munitions and training, in a variety of countries in order to enable Ukraine to defend itself. The increased Ukrainian capability will allow the Ukrainian leadership to develop and execute a variety of options in the future to achieve their objectives and bring this war to a successful conclusion,” he emphasized.

He said that the USA will continue helping our country in the war against Russia.

“Thank you to the Ukrainian Minister of Defense Reznikov, my counterpart, General Zaluzhnyi. All of them have continued to lead Ukrainians' military in their fight for freedom… Also, thanks to all of the Ministers of Defense and the Chiefs of Defense from 51 participants in today's meeting, including NATO and the European Union. They joined the meeting and they continued to provide critical support to Ukraine. Each nation is contributing what they can to ensure Ukraine has the means to defend itself against the illegal and unprovoked Russian invasion," added Milley.  

He confirmed that Russia openly violates all norms of European law in the war of aggression.

"This is and remains a Russian frontal assault on the rules-based international order that has been in place for 80 years, eight decades since the end of World War II. In the face of this act of aggression, in a war of conquest, this group remains unified. NATO is united, the people of Ukraine are unyielding, they are standing steadfast in the face of the Russian onslaught. Russia remains isolated. Their military stocks are rapidly depleting. Their soldiers are demoralized, untrained, unmotivated conscripts and convicts, and their leadership is failing them," he said.

Milley asserted that "free people will not return to the shackles of tyranny. Ukrainians remain defiant with steel in their spines and courage in their veins, and they have the broad support of the United States and the international community."

• Tenth Ramstein Contact Group meeting took place online on Wednesday, March 15.
