00:00Volodymyr Zelensky touches down in Berlin, the final leg of his whirlwind tour meeting
00:05European leaders.
00:06The Ukrainian president is seeking fresh military and financial aid from his allies, which he
00:11says are essential to ending the war.
00:14I would like to see the war end no later than next year in 2025 and guarantee that the aggression
00:21will not be repeated.
00:23Zelensky's two-day tour of London, Paris, Rome and now Berlin comes amid fears of dwindling
00:29Western support ahead of US elections next month.
00:33He's been pushing for clearance to use Western-supplied long-range weapons to strike deep inside Russia,
00:38which Washington and London have stalled on approving due to fears of an escalation of
00:42NATO's stand-off with Moscow.
00:44But German Chancellor Olaf Scholz says Germany's support for Kiev remains unwavering.
00:50The endeavor to achieve a just and lasting peace for Ukraine remains the guiding principle
00:54of our joint action.
00:57We will not accept a peace dictated by Russia.
01:01Meanwhile Moscow's forces are making steady territorial gains in the east, capturing more
01:05frontline villages, as it also continues its missile strikes across the country.
01:10Fresh strikes in the southern city of Odessa overnight killed at least four people.
01:14The latest in a series of attacks this week in the region, likely intended to disrupt
01:18the country's grain exports.
