Ukraine’s Zelensky arrives in Berlin and is received by Germany’s Scholz

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky met with Germany’s Chancellor Olaf Scholz on Sunday (May 14) and thanked his government for its “fantastic solidarity“ as he secured a big boost in military aid on his first visit to the country since Russia’s invasion. Zelensky arrived in Berlin from Rome, where he met on Saturday with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and Pope Francis. He flew on a German government plane escorted over German airspace by fighter jets of the Luftwaffe air force, arriving in the middle of the night. Wearing his trademark khaki combat trousers and a black sweater, the Ukrainian leader was first greeted by German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier before he headed to the nearby chancellery to meet welcomed by Scholz with military honours.
