Zelensky's Berlin Visit Triggers Major Transport Disruptions

The Ukrainian President's high-security visit to Berlin resulted in extensive public transport and road closures, causing significant inconvenience for residents.

Wolodymyr Zelensky, the President of Ukraine, visited Berlin, meeting with Chancellor Olaf Scholz and President Frank-Walter Steinmeier.
Due to Zelensky's high-risk status, Berlin experienced unprecedented security measures, including the deployment of snipers and drone defenses.
The visit led to severe disruptions in the S-Bahn and regional train services, with many routes reduced or suspended throughout the day.
Extensive road closures and traffic diversions were implemented, particularly around the government district, causing significant delays for motorists.
The Berlin police coordinated with multiple federal and state units to manage the security operations, which included water police patrols and bomb detection dog teams.
