Putin engages in backchannel talks, aiming for a "peace" on his terms
The UK’s mission to NATO reported this on X.
"Defence Secretary John Healey will convene the Ukraine Defence Contact Group at NATO HQ in Brussels on 12 February," the post says.
According to the report, officials will meet ahead of a NATO defence ministers’ gathering to discuss Ukraine’s priorities as international partners continue supporting its fight against Russia.
Radio Svoboda was the first to report this, citing sources.
It is noted that the next Ramstein meeting will take place on February 12.
Also, this time, the UK — not the U.S. — will chair the session.
