German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul and his US counterpart, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, will discuss a new burden-sharing arrangement within the NATO alliance at a meeting in Washington this week, Wadephul says.
Wadephul and Rubio will discuss “how we can achieve a new burden-sharing arrangement within the alliance and secure stable, long-term support for Ukraine at next week’s NATO summit in Ankara.”
“Support that will make Moscow realize that it is finally time to end the killing in Ukraine and come to the negotiating table,” Wadephul adds in a statement.
