Volodymyr Zelensky will visit Italy to attend Pope Francis’ funeral, a source in Ukraine’s presidential office told Reuters on Tuesday. US president Donald Trump will also attend the funeral. The 88-year-old pontiff died following a stroke that led to a coma and irreversible heart failure, the Vatican announced on Monday.

Just days after Trump threatened to abandon peace talks, he tells reporters there's a "very good chance" Russia and Ukraine will reach a deal this week, but experts are skeptical.
