On Tuesday, Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelenskyy met with Federal Chancellor Friedrich Merz (CDU) at the Chancellor’s Office. While the specific topics of the meeting were not announced beforehand, German backing for Ukraine’s defense against Russia is likely to remain a primary focus. Furthermore, the ongoing two-day security conference in the capital is probably another factor influencing President Zelenskyy’s visit. Later that afternoon, Merz and the Ukrainian President are scheduled to address the press together. Due to security concerns, the meeting was not publicly announced until just hours before it took place. Consequently, police significantly ramped up security measures throughout the entire governmental quarter on Tuesday.
