Before Zelenskyy’s arrival, US envoy Steve Witkoff announced a new round of talks between Russia, Ukraine and the United States in Abu Dhabi for November 10–11, 2026.

Zelenskyy had come to Berlin for new talks on ending the war.

Merz pledged support until the war ends and stressed that helping Ukraine also serves Germany’s own interests.

According to dpa, €100 million of the €200 million would come from the Federal Foreign Office budget and €100 million from development policy.

“We will continue our assistance until this war is over.”— German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said this at a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Berlin.

Joachim Gauck bei Maybrit Illner: Ja zu Merz und Berliner Linken

Key FactsReview criticizes Illner’s show on youth protests

Oct 30, 2026 · Reading time: ~45 sec.
Summary created with AI assistance · Source: sueddeutsche.de

An opening clip listed youth protests in France, Italy, Spain, Belgium and Serbia; the program did not return to those countries later.

The youth protests were discussed only sporadically; young people themselves were not present on the program.

Philipp Blom described democracy as a game and explained the metaphor only when he spoke again about 15 minutes later.

Asked by Illner about breaking up or socializing large AI companies, Paul Ronzheimer said he was no expert but had an opinion.

The problem with our democracy is that it is a system of certainties that are not guaranteed.
— Joachim Gauck, former German president, in a prerecorded conversation about the uncertainties of democracy.
