Ukraine Defense Contact Group (UDCG, also known as the
Ramstein group) is an alliance of

31 member states of NATO and
25 other countries) and the
European Union supporting the defence of Ukraine by sending military equipment in response to the
2022 Russian invasion. The group coordinates the
ongoing donation of military aid at monthly meetings. A
