Previous meetings between Zelenskyy and the Pope
The previous meeting between Zelenskyy and the Pope took place in Italy on June 14 this year during the G7 summit. At that time, they also discussed the first peace summit, which Ukraine was organizing in Switzerland.
It is already known that Zelenskyy has arrived in Croatia for the third "Ukraine-Southeast Europe" summit. On October 12, Zelenskyy was scheduled to attend the Ramstein meeting, where he was expected to meet with US President Joe Biden. However, due to the storm in the US, Biden postponed his trip to Germany.
In connection with this, the date of the Ramstein meeting has also been changed.
