Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has engaged in intensive diplomatic efforts across Europe, meeting leaders including Pope Leo XIV and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni to refine a peace proposal, with Ukrainian and European components now ready for finalization.Pope Leo XIV emphasized on Wednesday that Europe's involvement is crucial for any peace agreement, warning that former President Donald Trump's proposed plan risks significantly altering the Atlantic Alliance, while discussions also covered prisoner exchanges and the repatriation of Ukrainian children.Concurrently, the EU Council is pushing for a financing agreement for Ukraine, proposing a 165 billion euro "reparation loan" secured by 210 billion euros in frozen Russian assets, amid reports of military withdrawals near Pokrovsk and significant damage to Ukraine's gas network.
