Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will on Friday meet Pope Francis and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz as he ends a whirlwind tour of Europe aimed at drumming up support ahead of a tough winter.
Zelensky 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.
Zelensky 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.
