Russian strike hits Kyiv during German Chancellor Merz visit
Original: Russian strike hits Kyiv amid Chancellor Merz visit
Russian forces struck Kyiv as German Chancellor Friedrich Merz was visiting the Ukrainian capital. The attack underscored the ongoing danger to the city even during high-level diplomatic visits, and drew attention to Germany's continued support for Ukraine. Details on casualties or damage were not immediately available.
Why now: The strike coinciding with a major Western leader's visit to Kyiv highlights the war's persistence and Germany's role in supporting Ukraine.
