"I traveled to Kiev today because Ukraine needs all our support in the coming weeks," Merz said in a statement released after his arrival in the Ukrainian capital, where the German Chancellor made an unannounced visit to demonstrate support for the country in its conflict with Russia. "If Russia is not stopped, its war machine will sooner or later turn against us," Merz added.

Then an appeal to the Kremlin leader: "Mr. Putin, end this senseless war! We are ready for talks, we are ready to talk about ending this war. But these barbaric attacks on Ukrainian civil society must end."
