Security Measures for Ukraine Reconstruction Conference in Berlin
In preparation for the upcoming two-day Ukraine reconstruction conference in Berlin on Tuesday and Wednesday, security measures have been put in place to ensure the safety of attendees and high-ranking politicians. The conference will take place at the CityCube congress center, where it will be opened by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Chancellor Olaf Scholz. With the presence of many important figures, a high level of security is expected.
To secure the conference venue, hotels where important politicians are staying, and the routes between the airport, congress center, and government district, the police will be responsible. Major traffic disruptions are anticipated due to additional security measures being implemented in light of the European Football Championship fan zones already causing street closures.
Security measures for both events include monitoring airspace, conducting building searches for explosives, positioning snipers, and having special operations units on standby. Berlin Police Chief Barbara Slowik has described the current situation as one of the most tense in recent years, requiring a large police presence.
Experts have been inspecting the Olympic Stadium and fan zones for potential threats using sniffer dogs in preparation for the European Championship. On match days with German participation and during the final in Berlin, thousands of police officers will be deployed along with modern security technologies to ensure the safety of participants and spectators. The cooperation of other federal states is crucial due to high demand for police officers across the country during this time.
