Zelensky and Trump meet in St. Peter’s cathedral before the Pope’s funeral.

President Ukrainian President VolodyMyr Zelensky and US President Donald Trump met in St. Peter’s cathedral ahead of the Pope Francis’s funeral.

The White House described the 15 -minute meeting as “very productive” and said the Ukrainian spokesman will meet for the second time on Saturday.

Trump and Zelen Ski are attending the Vatican City worship service.

A day after Trump’s dialogue between Russia and Ukraine in Moscow on Friday, Russia and Ukraine said that Russia and Ukraine were “very close to transactions.”

The meeting was the fourth time that Witkoff visited Russia from the beginning of this year, and the three -hour conversation was later described as “very useful” by Putin Aide Yuri Ushakov.

Ushakov also discussed the possibility of resuming direct dialogue not only in Ukraine but also between Russia and Ukrainian representatives.

The White House Communication Director Steven Cheung says the details of the Vatican City individual meetings between Trump and Zelensky:

Later, the image was released by Ukrainian officials. Jellenski’s office Andriy Yermak had two leaders of the two leaders sitting in the cathedral chair.

A separate photo also also talked with Trump and Zelen Ski with Macron, a kier in the cathedral.

The Saturday meeting is the first meeting that the two leaders face directly after February after an unprecedented confrontation at the elliptical office.

During the enthusiastic exchange period, Trump accused President Ukrainian “gambling with World War III” by not going with the armistice plan led by Washington.

KYIV is ending the pressure from Trump by accepting territorial concessions as part of a contract to end the war with Moscow.

This concession is expected to include abandonment of many parts, including the Crimean Peninsula illegally merged by Russia in 2014.

Zelensky has repeatedly rejected this idea. He told the BBC on Friday that “a complete and unconditional ceasefire opens up the possibility of discussing everything.”

During the funeral, the pairs were not sitting near each other due to the seating arrangement in the French alphabetical order.
