Germany's top diplomat made a surprise visit to Kyiv on Monday, signaling a robust show of European support for Ukraine ahead of a pivotal US presidential election that could reshape Washington's approach to Russia's invasion.
The visit comes as Germany, Ukraine's second-largest weapons supplier, reaffirmed its commitment through Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock. Baerbock pledged Germany's unwavering backing, stating that Berlin, alongside international partners, would stand by Ukraine for as long as necessary to achieve a just resolution to the conflict.
