German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has defied Moscow’s warning to foreign diplomats and nationals to leave Kyiv, making an unannounced visit to the Ukrainian capital in a show of solidarity with President Volodymyr Zelensky.

Merz’s visit comes as Russia intensifies attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure and Kyiv ahead of winter. The German Chancellor has reaffirmed Berlin’s support for Ukraine, warning that if Russia is not stopped, its war machine could turn against Europe. Watch this video as Firstpost explains why Merz defied Moscow’s warning, what his visit signals about European support for Kyiv, and how Russia’s escalating threats could shape the next phase of the war. --- Friedrich Merz | Germany Ukraine | Merz Kyiv Visit | Russia Ukraine War | Vladimir Putin | Volodymyr Zelensky | Russia Wa
