Ukraine cannot become EU member while at war — Merz

AI Summary

Ukrainian forces launched one of their largest drone assaults on Russian infrastructure, targeting an oil refinery in Moscow that ignited and produced massive explosions, with debris—including a tank lid approximately 50 meters in diameter—propelled through the air. Moscow residents reported black rain from falling oil, while the strike occurred as President Putin attended an Asean summit in Kasan without publicly acknowledging the attack. President Zelensky declared that Ukraine would continue striking Russian targets and appealed to the European Union for fast-track membership.
