Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is on a diplomatic tour across Europe, seeking support for Ukraine's EU membership and security guarantees.

His visit includes meetings with leaders in Italy, France, Germany, and the UK.

Zelensky aims to secure a ceasefire along the current front lines without officially recognizing new borders, in exchange for Western commitments.

The Ukrainian leader is also pushing for a swift entry into the European Union to ensure Ukraine's growth and stability.

This diplomatic effort comes amid ongoing military challenges, as Ukraine faces significant territorial losses to Russia.

Zelensky's strategy reflects a desire to end the conflict by 2025, despite the complex geopolitical landscape.
