Zelenskyy seeks Pope's support for peace plan

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met with Pope Francis at the Vatican seeking support for Ukraine's peace plan and condemnation of Russian "crimes in Ukraine." Zelenskyy's 10-point plan includes establishing a special tribunal to prosecute Russian war crimes, creating a European-Atlantic security architecture, restoring Ukraine's damaged power infrastructure, and ensuring safety around Europe's largest nuclear power plant. Italy pledged open-ended military and financial support for Ukraine, while Germany announced additional military aid worth over $3 billion. The meeting came as Russian forces resumed shelling in Ukraine's northeastern Kharkiv region, killing a civilian, and damaged an energy facility in Ukraine's western Khmelnytskyi region.
