Berlin: US President Joe Biden will meet with the leaders of Germany, France, and Britain in Berlin on Saturday to discuss the ongoing conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine, a German government source confirmed. 

The meeting, set to take place during Biden’s three-day state visit to Germany starting on October 10, will also include talks at the US air base in Ramstein, where military support for Ukraine will be a key topic.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and other international leaders are expected to attend the Ramstein session.

This gathering comes at a critical time for Ukraine, as it approaches the US presidential election in November. Republican candidate Donald Trump has criticized the substantial US aid to Ukraine and has voiced opinions that echo Russian perspectives on the conflict.

Zelensky has previously used such meetings to call for additional military assistance to counter advancing Russian forces.
