POLITICO's Berlin Playbook podcast turns to Ukraine's President Zelenskyy

POLITICO, which operates in Germany, has published a new episode in its Berlin Playbook podcast titled 'Machthaber' focusing on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The format is a regular special edition in which journalists look at some of the most powerful and controversial politicians of our time.

The producers say the series aims to provide a behind-the-scenes look at politics — how these figures make decisions, how they think, and how that affects ordinary people. The latest episode puts the spotlight on Zelenskyy.

Berlin Playbook is available to listeners every morning from 5:00 am. It is hosted by POLITICO Executive Editor Gordon Repinski, and the content is produced together with the POLITICO team. The show is described as compact, international and in-depth coverage of politics.

For those who want a daily political briefing, there is an option to subscribe to the Berlin Playbook newsletter free of charge. It is aimed primarily at capital-city professionals and offers the most important topics and analysis each morning. The podcast is produced by POLITICO Deutschland, part of the Axel Springer Deutschland group.
