Angela Merkel’s Refreshing Moment with Zelenskiy
During a recent visit by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, the German Chancellor, who had apparently felt a bit under the weather, shed a faint tremor before the two leaders took their place for a solemn military salute. In the minutes that followed, Merkel confessed that she was just a tad dehydrated amidst the sweltering heat.
The Water‑Workout
- “I’ve had at least three glasses of water since that moment,” she chuckled, clearly relieved.
- “I needed that, and now I’m back on track.”
Meanwhile, Zelenskiy gave his guest a quick dose of light‑heartedness. “She never put herself in danger; she was looking out for me,” he teased, adding that he would step in if ever she required a rescue.
Merkel’s Worldwide Reputation
Often hailed as the most influential figure in the European Union—and coins an envelope of “the most powerful woman on Earth” she’s approaching 65 in the coming month.
She’s setting the stage for a close‑up by revealing she’ll step away from politics after her current term concludes in 2021. As she sails toward retirement, it looks like her recent hydration experience is just one more chapter in the Chancellor’s storied journey.
