President Joe Biden visited Berlin on Friday to meet with European leaders, including German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, to discuss the ongoing support for Ukraine amidst Russia's invasion. Biden emphasized the importance of Western allies sustaining their resolve in supporting Ukraine, particularly as the upcoming U.S. presidential election casts a shadow over international commitments. Chancellor Scholz reaffirmed the strong partnership between the United States and Germany, stating that while NATO must not become a party to the war, it will continue to support Ukraine strongly to ensure its sovereignty and prevent the conflict from escalating further.
