The morning papers focused on Trump's bilateral Ukraine negotiations excluding European leaders, with diplomatic concerns overshadowed by a car attack at a Ver.di demonstration in Munich. Initial reports of injuries evolved from 20 to 30 victims as details emerged about the perpetrator, a 24-year-old Afghan asylum seeker.
By afternoon, Bavarian Interior Minister Herrmann and Chancellor Scholz characterized the incident as an attack, while police found evidence of extremist motives. The suspect's legal status sparked political debate, though later corrections showed he held valid residency permits.
Evening coverage connected the incident to broader security discussions, as Afghan community organizations distanced themselves from the attack. Meanwhile, Trump-Putin negotiations advanced, with Medvedev declaring "Europe's time is over" and reports suggesting first Ukrainian-Russian talks could occur during Munich Security Conference.
