Germany's Merkel appears unsteady, shaking at ceremony

[TexasTowelie]

BERLIN — German Chancellor Angela Merkel appeared unsteady and was visibly shaking Tuesday as she greeted Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy in Berlin.

When Merkel stood with Zelenskiy in the hot weather while a military band played their national anthems outside the chancellery, the chancellor’s whole body visibly shook and she pursed her lips as she tried to contain the situation.

But following the anthems, Merkel seemed better, walking quickly along the red carpet with Zelenskiy into the building, pausing to greet the military band and take a salute.

About an hour later following their meeting, Merkel told reporters at a joint news conference that had they had discussed bilateral issues and the Minsk peace process. Merkel did not immediately say anything about the incident, instead focusing on their talks during what was Zelenskiy’s first visit to the German capital as president.

1. Merkel later blamed dehydration for her shakiness

It did look rather alarming. I hope her health is fine.

2. It's a problem in hot weather

when anyone cuts down on liquids before a public appearance so they do not have to take a bathroom break.
