U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin is scheduled to attend his final meeting of the Ukraine Defense Contact Group at Ramstein Air Base in Germany next week.
The group, formed in April 2022, consists of over 50 nations, including NATO members and almost all European Union countries, to coordinate military support for Ukraine.
This meeting was postponed from October due to President Joe Biden canceling his participation to handle Hurricane Milton's aftermath.
With President-elect Donald Trump about to take office, concerns arise over the future of U.S. aid to Ukraine, especially as Trump has criticized current support levels.
In related news, a Russian drone attack near Kyiv has resulted in casualties, highlighting the ongoing conflict as clashes continue in Ukraine.
