Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and US President Donald Trump met briefly at St. Peter’s Basilica ahead of Pope Francis’s funeral, marking their first meeting since a tense Oval Office encounter in February, BBC reported.
The 15-minute discussion was described by the White House as “very productive,” while Zelensky called it “symbolic” and potentially “historic.”
Following additional attacks on Kyiv, Trump questioned Russian President Vladimir Putin, doubting his commitment to bringing the war to a close, according to BBC.
Trump and Zelensky met in Rome for the first time since their White House meeting at the end of February, when Trump informed Zelensky that "you don't have the cards" and that he would not win against Russia.
