US President Joe Biden speaks at the Philadelphia Democratic City Committee Autumn Dinner in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on Oct 15, 2024. BERLIN: President Joe Biden arrived in Berlin on Thursday for a short visit to discuss Russia's invasion of Ukraine with the leaders of Germany , France and Britain as Kyiv urges its Western allies to take immediate action to end the fighting.
The president landed late on Thursday in Berlin and will hold bilateral talks on Friday morning with Germany's president and chancellor, before a planned meeting with the leaders of Germany, France and Britain. "The situation on the battlefield in Ukraine, the trajectory of the war, how allies can best support Ukraine will be a subject of conversation," a senior US administration official said before the trip about the meeting with European leaders.
"But this is a time when, in addition to our clear support for Ukraine, we must also do everything we can to find out how we can ensure that this war does not go on forever, that it does not continue to kill an unbelievable amount of women and men." Biden's trip also comes amid fears of an escalation of the fighting in the Middle East into a full-scale conflict between Israel and Iran. That issue would also be discussed at the meeting, the US official said.
