- Merz and Mathernová traveled to Kyiv, with Euronews framing the visit as a direct message to Moscow from the Ukrainian capital
- Merz pledged €1 billion in military aid to Kyiv, as The Guardian reported Russia ramping up attacks and NBC characterized the bombardment during the visit as "a new escalation"
