German Chancellor Angela Merkel showed signs of trembling during a meeting with Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelinsky in the capital Berlin on Tuesday.

As the chancellor stood in front of the guard of honor alongside the Ukrainian president, her legs and body began to tremble violently, but when Zilinsky walked in front of the guard of honor, the tremor became apparent.

Merkel told a news conference with Zelinsky that she had taken three glasses of water, explaining that the reason for the tremor was apparently the lack of water in her body, adding that she was in good shape.

Merkel has seen signs of trembling before on similar occasions, and was due to lack of water during extreme heat.
