Volodymyr Zelenskyy's Potential Attendance at Pope Francis' Funeral
- Whew
Zelensky, Ukrainian President, to Participate in Pope Francis' Funeral Services - Ukrainian Leader Zelensky Set to Attend Pope Francis' Funeral
The pope's pegged it. Pope Francis breathed his last on Monday morning, aged 88, following a stroke. Since February, he'd been in the hospital due to a lung infection and was released on March 23 after a six-week treatment. Even on Easter Sunday, he managed to show up at St. Peter's Square for the Mass, although he spoke to the faithful with a voice weak as a kitten's mew.
Mourning took the globe by storm with the news of the Pontiff's demise. Many heads of state announced their intention to attend the funeral of the former head honcho of the Catholic Church, including Donald Trump, the Commander-in-Chief of the USA, and Emmanuel Macron, the Gallic President.
As for President Zelenskyy of Ukraine, it's up in the air whether he'll snag a seat at the funeral. While sources have spilled the beans on the funeral schedule, the public viewing arrangements, and the ceremony details, they've remained silent as a church mouse regarding the peak attendees, including Mr. Zelenskyy or other international big shots.[1][2][3][4]
Given the grandeur of Pope Francis' funeral, speculations run high that numerous world leaders, including, but not limited to, Zelenskyy, might appear on the scene. However, a definitive confirmation on the attendance of international dignitaries, including Zelenskyy, remains elusive in the available data. Now, that's a tale we'd love to hear straight from the horse's mouth!
