During his visit, the Ukrainian president is scheduled to hold talks with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte and Belgian Prime Minister Bart De Wever. Additionally, Zelenskyy will have an audience with King Philippe of Belgium.

Strategic Priorities and Scheduled Events

As part of this trip, another Ramstein-format meeting of the contact group is set to take place on June 18 at NATO’s headquarters. Ukraine’s Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov has outlined the main priorities, which include:

• bolstering air defense capabilities;
