Merz made a surprise visit to Kyiv as attacks increase. In his presence, President Volodymyr Zelensky said Washington had proposed fresh talks with both Ukraine and Russia by the end of the month. Air raid sirens wailed repeatedly, including as Zelensky showed him the damage to the National Academy of Sciences, which was hit by a Russian attack drone on Monday, killing two. "We can see the entire pointlessness of this war at this place. These barbarous attacks on the civilian population of Ukraine must stop. These are war crimes that are being committed daily here," noted Merz.
