There is this one moment. Olaf Scholz is slowly coming to the end of his speech in the Gothic Coronation Hall of Aachen City Hall. “The Charlemagne Prize as a European citizen’s prize means the deep bow of our free societies to the bravery and determination of the Ukrainian people and their president,” says the Chancellor. Then he turns to the man sitting behind him in a black sweatshirt with a Ukrainian flag and green military pants. Volodymyr Zelensky nods. The two seem familiar at this moment. Something seems to have happened between the President and the Chancellor that day.
