Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is set to arrive in Berlin on Wednesday to participate in a video conference with US President Donald Trump and European leaders, according to German sources.
After meeting with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, Zelenskyy will join him at the Federal Chancellery for the critical videoconference with Trump, according to German public broadcaster ARD, which cited government officials.
The videoconference, scheduled for 3 pm local time (1300GMT), aims to establish common positions among the Western allies ahead of Trump's planned summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin in the US state of Alaska on Friday.
European and Ukrainian officials plan to seek firm assurances from Trump that no agreements regarding the Ukraine war will be made during the summit without Kyiv's explicit consent.
