KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Germany’s top diplomat has arrived in the Ukrainian capital on an unannounced visit. The trip Monday appears to be a show of European support for Ukraine on the eve of a U.S. presidential election that could bring far-reaching changes in Washington’s policy toward Russia’s all-out invasion of its neighbor. Germany is Ukraine’s second biggest weapons supplier after the U.S. Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock vowed that Berlin’s backing would remain steadfast. The war is at a critical moment for Ukraine with the Russian army making creeping gains on the battlefield and another hard winter ahead.
