Germany confirms Biden visit and Ukraine allies meeting

 
BERLIN, Sept 27: Germany said Friday that US President Joe Biden will travel to the country October 10-12, and would host an international meeting to discuss military support for Ukraine. 

Germany was "happy" to host Biden for what has been billed as a goodbye visit ahead of the US presidential election in November, Chancellor Olaf Scholz's spokesman Steffen Hebestreit told a press conference.
"I can confirm that as part of the visit a meeting of the Ukraine Defence Contact Group... will be convened," Hebestreit said.

The military meeting is expected on October 12 at the US air base in Ramstein near Frankfurt and is expected to bring together more than 50 of Ukraine's allies.    —AFP
