Streeting will chair his first meeting of the Ukraine Defense Contact Group on September 8. The group brings together 50 countries that provide military equipment to Ukraine. The 36th meeting in the so-called Ramstein format will take place remotely on September 8 under the chairmanship of the defense ministers of the United Kingdom and Germany. German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius will co-chair the meeting with the head of the British defense ministry.
Earlier, UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham said he could join European leaders on a trip to the US in September. There, they plan to persuade President Donald Trump to transfer some US Patriot interceptor missiles to Ukraine ahead of winter.
