WATCH: German Chancellor Merkel was seen shaking as she stood next to new Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy during a ceremony in Berlin; the chancellor later asserted that she was fine, and only needed a few glasses of water.
About an hour later, following their meeting, Merkel told reporters at a joint news conference that they had discussed bilateral issues and the Minsk peace process during Zelenskiy's first visit to the German capital as president.
"Since then I've drunk at least three glasses of water, which I apparently needed, and now I'm doing very well," she said.
