Rumors about Zelenskyy's trip to Germany
Last week Tagesspiegel reported that the Ukrainian President would attend the Munich Security Conference. However, the head of the Munich Security Conference, Christoph Heusgen, declined to confirm these rumors, stating that efforts were made to ensure Zelenskyy's presence.
Meanwhile, Bloomberg reported that Zelenskyy planned to tour Western Europe.
