Merkel shakes uncontrollably during military parade

18 Jun 2019

Earlier, Merkel was seen shaking during the military honours for Zelenskiy.

She looked as if she were struggling to stand up while she and Zelenskiy listened to national anthems.

"Since then I have drunk at least three glasses of water - I obviously needed that and so I'm doing very well now," Merkel said during a joint news conference with Zelenskiy.

She also told reporters that Russian President Vladimir Putin had stressed he was aware of Germany's demand that Ukraine continues to transport gas to Europe after the opening of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline.

Ukraine's president, speaking through an interpreter, said it was not Ukraine that started a war with Russia, adding "but we hope to end it as quickly as possible."
