U.S. President Joe Biden and leaders of other NATO member states are set to announce new aid and stress a membership pledge for Ukraine at a summit in Washington on Wednesday after Biden vowed to stand by Kyiv in its fight against Russia's invasion, APA reports citing Reuters.
As Biden welcomed leaders of the 32-nation NATO alliance, the United States and Germany announced that the U.S. would start deploying longer-range missiles in Germany in 2026 in a move that would have been banned under a U.S.-Russia arms control treaty that collapsed in 2019.
A U.S.-German statement said the "episodic deployments" were in preparation for longer-term stationing in Europe of capabilities that would include SM-6, Tomahawk and developmental hypersonic weapons with greater range.
