Zelenskyj in Berlin: arms deliveries and his victory plan in focus!
Today, August 13, 2025, a virtual Ukraine summit will take place in the Chancellery, attended by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Zelenskyj travels to Berlin to speak with Chancellor Olaf Scholz and to present his “victory plan”. This plan is part of his three-day European tour, which also includes stops in the UK, France and Italy. The main goal of the plan is to organize an effective second peace summit to end the war in Ukraine.
The Chancellor has already promised further arms deliveries to Ukraine, underlining Germany's support for the country in its fight against the Russian aggressor. During the meeting, both politicians supported Russia's participation in a future peace conference. This comes against the background that the first peace summit took place in Switzerland in mid-June and Russia was not invited. According to ZDF, Armin Coerper reports that calls for peace talks from Germany or Ukraine are being ignored in Russia.
Reactions and geopolitical challenges
Russia comments on Zelensky's visit to Germany with malice and ridicule and shows little willingness to respond to demands. The country sees itself in a position of superiority and does not need dialogue with Western countries because it prioritizes the USA as a potential interlocutor. International relations with powerful intermediaries such as China, India and Turkey also play a role here. Russian minimum demands include recognition of the occupied territories and Ukraine not joining NATO.
Uncertainty about US support for Ukraine is growing, particularly in view of the upcoming elections on November 5th, where Donald Trump's return to the presidency is on the cards. Since the start of Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine in February 2022, Kiev has launched a counteroffensive. The geopolitical connections and the course of the conflict therefore remain extremely complex.
Zelensky's involvement in this European tour not only demonstrates Ukraine's ongoing commitment to its fight for survival, but also highlights the ongoing tensions and challenges in the negotiations for peace in the region. The developments of the next few days could be decisive for how the conflict develops and what role the international community will play in it.
