Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's visit to Germany emphasizes the country's resolve in supporting Ukraine amid the ongoing conflict with Russia. Meeting with Chancellor Friedrich Merz, discussions focused on Germany's support for Ukraine, including potential sanctions against Moscow and efforts to secure a ceasefire. Merz's commitment to a robust defense strategy, potentially forming Europe's strongest conventional army, contrasts with previous Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s caution over military assistance. Merz's administration aims for a confident approach towards Russia, signaling a shift in Germany's foreign policy towards the war.
The chancellor charged this week, "obviously sees offers of talks as a sign of weakness" highlighting his firm stance against Putin during Zelensky's visit.
After a joint press conference, Zelensky will meet German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier at Bellevue Palace to discuss critical issues surrounding Ukraine's conflict.
