ROME — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy will meet Pope Francis and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz as he ends a whirlwind tour of Europe aimed at getting support ahead of a tough winter.
Zelenskyy is seeking a military and financial boost during a 48-hour trip to London, Paris, Rome and Berlin, amid fears of dwindling support if Donald Trump wins the US presidency next month. Zelenskyy will meet Pope Francis at the Vatican on Friday morning before flying to Berlin, where he is due to meet Scholz , whose government plans to halve its bilateral military aid to Ukraine next year.
Without elaborating, Macron said Zelenskyy had outlined Ukraine's 'plan for the next weeks' and the pair had discussed strategy for the coming 'weeks and months.'Macron emphasized he had reaffirmed France's support 'for the Ukrainian resistance against the Russian invasion.'Zelenskyy said later on Telegram that they had discussed the possibility of France and Ukraine jointly producing arms.
