Ukraine’s Zelenskiy to visit Germany on Sunday in bid to shore up support

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy will be received in Berlin on Sunday, German government sources told Reuters on Saturday, as the leader seeks
to shore up support from key allies against Russia’s invasion.
Zelenskiy will arrive from Italy where he was meeting with Italian officials and Pope Francis on Saturday.
The Ukrainian leader last visited Germany for the Munich Security Council in February last year just before the war broke out.
Germany, which is Europe’s largest economy, faced criticism at the start of the war for what some called a hesitant response, but it has become one of Ukraine’s biggest providers of financial and military assistance, ahead of other European powers like France.
Germany on Saturday announced 2.7 billion euro ($3.0 billion) of military aid to Ukraine, its biggest such package yet since the Russian invasion, and pledged further support for Kyiv for as long as necessary.
