Ukrainian President Wolodymyr Selenskyj is expected in Berlin on Monday at the latest. The police are planning extensive security measures, but details remain under wraps for now.

Ukrainian President Wolodymyr Selenskyj remains in the city for talks on a possible end to the war in Ukraine. He is scheduled to be received by Chancellor Friedrich Merz (CDU) later today, followed by a European summit meeting in the evening with French President Emmanuel Macron and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, among others.

Closures in the government district, on local transport and on the A113 motorway

"Restrictions are expected in the city area, especially in the government district, until late in the evening," wrote the traffic information centre on Bluesky. According to the latest information, the A113 motorway is likely to be affected from midday onwards. According to VIZ, the U5 is not stopping at the Bundestag underground station until further notice since 6:45 a.m. Bus lines 100 and 187 will continue to be diverted. The Ukrainian president, like the heads of government of the United States, Russia and Israel, is subject to the highest security level. According to police reports, around 2,400 police officers were on duty during his visit in May.
