Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will travel to Berlin on Wednesday to join German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and other European leaders for a video conference with U.S. President Donald Trump, according to German government officials and multiple European news agencies. The call is scheduled two days before Trump meets Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska for their first in-person talks since Moscow’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Participants in the Berlin-based video conference are expected to include the leaders of France, the United Kingdom, Finland, Italy, Poland, the heads of the European Commission and Council, and the NATO Secretary General. Their goal is to press Trump to maintain Western support for Kyiv and resist any settlement that would force Ukraine to concede territory to Russia. European capitals have grown anxious after Trump said the Alaska meeting would be a “feel-out” session that could eventually involve “some swapping, some changes in land.” Zelensky has publicly ruled out withdrawing troops from the Russian-occupied Donbas region, while EU leaders on Tuesday reaffirmed that international borders “must not be changed by force.” Wednesday’s consultation is intended to present a united front ahead of the Trump-Putin summit and to explore additional measures for exerting pressure on Moscow.
