German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul and his U.S. counterpart Marco Rubio will discuss a new burden-sharing arrangement within NATO at a meeting in Washington this week, Mr. Wadephul said on Monday (June 29, 2026).
Mr. Wadephul and Mr. 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 realise that it is finally time to end the killing in Ukraine and come to the negotiating table,” Mr. Wadephul added in a statement.
