At a meeting in Kyiv, the Air Force Capability Coalition also considered creating a dedicated fund to coordinate support and accelerate priority projects.<\/p>\n
Representatives from Ukraine, the Netherlands, Denmark, the United States, the United Kingdom and Canada attended the meeting. The coalition\u2019s secretariat and working groups reviewed progress, current requirements and the next stages of capability development.<\/p>\n
Participants also met Deputy Minister of Defence of Ukraine Sergiy Boyev and a working group led by Lieutenant General Anatolii Kryvonozhko, Commander of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
