Ukrainian President Zelenskyy in Berlin for Talks with European Leaders and US President

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is in Berlin to join German Chancellor Merz for video calls with European leaders and US President Donald Trump. The talks come just days before a planned meeting between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin. On the other hand, Russia dismissed the virtual meeting as insignificant. Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman Alexey Fadeev said the consultations were politically and practically meaningless.
