Selenskyjs Berlin visit: Chaos in traffic and maximum security measures!

The Ukrainian President Wolodymyr Selenskyj arrived in Berlin on Friday afternoon after visiting Pope Francis in Rome. His arrival led to considerable restrictions in public transport. The police blocked several streets in the government district and S-Bahn traffic was drastically reduced. A heavily diluted timetable has been in the morning, many lines had to be set, and S-Bahn trains only ran to a limited extent. The regional trains were also affected, with failures on important routes such as the airport.

In order to ensure the security of the highly toxic state guest, numerous police officers were in action, supported by snipers and dog relays. Selenskyj had planned talks with Chancellor Olaf Scholz, who promised him further military support. The security effort for the visit was enormous and required the mobilization of police forces from other federal states. The exact details of the safety precautions were not communicated for confidential reasons. This meant a real chaos for the Berlin road users, since many planned trips were canceled and waiting times for the citizens in the capital. You can find out more about this here .
