It is Ukrainian President Zelenskyj’s second visit to Germany within five weeks: the conversation with Scholz will focus on arms deliveries and peace efforts.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyj arrived in Berlin on Friday on his multi-day European tour. He landed in a helicopter at the Chancellery in the early afternoon and was greeted there by Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD). A meeting with Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier was planned later. The talks will focus on continued support for Ukraine with arms deliveries for the defense against the Russian invaders, but also on efforts to find a peace solution.
Zelenykyj has already visited Croatia, France, Great Britain and Italy on his European trip. He actually wanted to take part in a Ukraine summit with 50 allied countries on Saturday at the US air force base in Ramstein, Rhineland-Palatinate. However, the summit was postponed after US President Joe Biden canceled the meeting due to Hurricane Milton.
It is the Ukrainian president’s second visit to Germany within five weeks and the third personal conversation with Scholz during this period. At the beginning of September, Zelensky took part in a defense ministerial meeting of the allies in Ramstein and met Scholz in Frankfurt am Main. Just three weeks later, the two met again shortly before the UN General Assembly in New York for a conversation.
