Ukraine’s Zelenskyy to meet Germany’s Merz in Berlin, seeks more support
Al Jazeera
Talks come after German chancellor says allies no longer imposing restrictions on the range of weapons supplied to Kyiv.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is set to meet with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, as Ukraine seeks further military support amid a recent escalation in Russia’s bombing campaign, despite United States-led efforts to end the war.
During their talks in Berlin on Wednesday, Zelenskyy and Merz are also expected to discuss sanctions on Russia.
According to a German government spokesperson, Merz will receive Zelenskyy with military honours at the federal chancellery at 10:00 GMT.
The Berlin talks follow Russia and Ukraine’s direct face-to-face talks in Turkiye earlier in May. Despite pressure from United States President Donald Trump to end the war, the talks failed to produce a ceasefire agreement.
Merz raised further doubts about the prospects for a quick resolution to end the war on Tuesday, saying that Russian President Vladimir Putin had “at the moment no interest in a ceasefire, or a peace deal”.
