German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy will meet on September 6 in Frankfurt, a German government spokesman said. The one-on-one talks will take place on the same day that Ukraine's military backers, including the United States, are set to gather at a U.S. airbase in Germany to coordinate their support for Kyiv. The government spokesman did not give further details about Zelensky's program in Germany, but Der Spiegel reported that he will also attend the gathering at the Ramstein Air Base southwest of Frankfurt. Zelenskiy's presence is intended to underline "the seriousness of the situation" on the ground, the magazine said. U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin will host the meeting.
