German Chancellor Friedrich Merz visited Kyiv with an economic delegation and discussed Ukraine's accelerated accession to the EU

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz unexpectedly arrived in Kyiv on October 4 with an economic delegation, where he discussed with Vladimir Zelensky the accelerated entry of Ukraine into the EU by 2027, but did not reach agreement. Merz offered access to the single market and observer status, which Zelensky rejected, demanding full membership. Germany has promised a new aid package: 1 billion euros in military support and 350 million euros for energy repairs, as well as joint production of drones. Merz also approached Putin with a proposal for peace negotiations, subject to the cessation of attacks on infrastructure and the "silencing of weapons." His visit drew criticism within Germany due to his falling ratings and internal crises, while the Russians called his actions a PR campaign based on blood and an attempt to rearm Ukraine.
