Zelensky’s Diplomatic Push in Berlin: Seeking Stronger Support for Ukraine

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has arrived in Berlin for a high-stakes meeting with Germany’s new Chancellor, Friedrich Merz, as Ukraine continues to seek military aid amid escalating Russian attacks. Germany, the second-largest supplier of military assistance to Ukraine after the United States, has played a crucial role in supporting Kyiv’s defense efforts.

During his visit, Zelensky is expected to discuss the lifting of range restrictions on weapons supplied to Ukraine, a move that could significantly bolster Ukraine’s ability to counter Russian aggression. Chancellor Merz, who took office three weeks ago, has been actively engaged in diplomatic efforts to maintain Western support for Ukraine and explore potential ceasefire negotiations.

Meanwhile, the conflict continues to intensify, with Russia launching its largest drone attack on Ukraine to date. Ukrainian air defenses have been working tirelessly to counter these strikes, while infrastructure in key regions such as Kharkiv, Donetsk, and Sumy has suffered damage.

Zelensky’s visit underscores Ukraine’s urgent need for sustained international backing as it navigates the challenges of war. His discussions with German leaders could shape the next phase of military and diplomatic strategies in the ongoing conflict.
