Zelenskiy's European Tour: Berlin Visit Amidst Diplomatic Shifts

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy is scheduled to travel to Berlin on Friday for high-level discussions with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and President Frank-Walter Steinmeier. This visit, confirmed by Reuters through two sources, marks a significant step in Zelenskiy's European tour.

While Zelenskiy's European engagements were planned to strengthen alliances, they faced an unexpected hurdle after U.S. President Joe Biden postponed a crucial summit in Ramstein, Germany. Despite this setback, Zelenskiy looks to foster support in Germany.

The meetings in Berlin underscore the ongoing diplomatic efforts by Ukraine to consolidate ties with European partners amidst a complex geopolitical landscape, prompting pivotal discussions with key leaders such as Scholz and Steinmeier.
