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.
