German president welcomes Zelensky to Berlin
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was welcomed in Berlin by German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier on Tuesday, ahead of an international conference on Ukraine’s recovery and reconstruction.
Mr Steinmeier received Mr Zelensky at his official residence, the Bellevue Palace in the capital.
He planned to accompany the Ukrainian president to the official opening of the conference and attend Mr Zelensky’s speech to the German parliament on Tuesday afternoon.
Relations between the two presidents were initially strained after Mr Zelensky told Mr Steinmeier in April 2022 that he was not welcome to join colleagues from Poland and the Baltic states on a planned trip to Kyiv.
At the time, Mr Zelensky accused Mr Steinmeier of taking a soft stance toward Russian President Vladimir Putin in his previous political positions.
The two have seemingly patched up relations since Mr Steinmeier later visited Ukraine.
