As previously stated, the Ramstein format meeting takes place at a unique time: Russian missile attacks and partial mobilization, sham referendums, and Ukraine's counter-offensive.

As previously reported, Brussels will host a meeting of the North Atlantic Council at the level of defense ministers on October 12-13, as well as a meeting of the Ukraine Defense Contact Group (Ramstein-6) under the auspices of the US.

The officials will assess the Alliance's current defense and deterrence capabilities, consider measures to protect critical infrastructure in light of the Nord Stream pipeline sabotage, and discuss ways to continue and strengthen military aid to Ukraine.
