It is the first time that Volodymyr Zelenskyj has visited Germany since the outbreak of war in Ukraine. He comes to Berlin with kind words and certainly with further expectations.
During his visit to Germany, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy thanked Berlin for its support in the fight against Russian troops. Germany has proven to be “our true friend and reliable ally, who stands resolutely on the side of the Ukrainian people in the fight to defend freedom and democratic values,” Zelenskyi wrote at the reception by Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier in Berlin on Sunday morning English in the guest book of Schloss Bellevue.
He also thanked Steinmeier for his “personal support of Ukraine” and the German people for their “fantastic solidarity”. In German, Zelenskyj added: “Thank you Germany!”.
