Earlier, the German publication Bild, citing sources in the German law enforcement agencies, announced Zelensky's visit to Berlin on May 13.

In Kyiv, according to The Guardian, the disclosure of data about the visit was called irresponsible and said that this leak calls into question the trip of the head of the Ukrainian state.

Berlin police launched an investigation on suspicion of divulging secrets about a possible visit of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to Germany.
