Three weeks after Chancellor Friedrich Merz took over as the leader of Germany, President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine will visit him in Berlin on Wednesday.
The Ukrainian leader’s visit will be his third meeting with Mr. Merz in as many weeks and underscores Mr. Merz’s focus on the war in Ukraine, as he seeks to reestablish German leadership among European allies in the face of weakening U.S. commitments to NATO.
Mr. Zelensky will meet with Mr. Merz in the Chancellery, Germany’s executive office, and the two men will hold a joint news conference in the afternoon. Later, the Ukrainian leader is expected to have talks with President Frank-Walter Steinmeier in Bellevue, the presidential palace.
Large sections of the government district in Berlin are expected to be cordoned off by the police on Wednesday, as was the case during previous visits by the Ukrainian president.
