KYIV (Reuters) - Ukrainian Defence Minister Rustem Umerov said timely weapons deliveries and joint projects with European partners were on the agenda for Ukraine Defence Contact Group meeting in Brussels on Wednesday.

The meeting will be chaired by the British Secretary of State for Defence John Healey. The grouping of some 50 nations, formed after Russia launched the full-scale invasion in 2022 and sometimes referred to as the Ramstein Group after the U.S. air base in Germany where it first met, has previously been led by the United States.
