Biden's visit to Germany underscores support for Ukraine as Europe faces uncertain future

US President Joe Biden's brief visit to Germany highlighted his commitment to supporting Ukraine and European defense before leaving office in January. He received Germany's highest honor, emphasizing the importance of continued military aid to Ukraine amid ongoing conflict. Biden's administration has provided significant support to Ukraine, contrasting with the potential shift in US foreign policy after the upcoming election. Concerns grow over Europe's ability to maintain defense efforts independently, especially with rising domestic pressures in Germany and France. During the meeting with leaders from the UK and France, discussions focused on further support for Ukraine. However, specific requests from Ukraine, such as NATO membership and missile usage, remain unaddressed, leaving the country in a vulnerable position against Russia.
