Trump’s pointed message to Putin after meeting Zelenskyy inside St Peter’s Basilica ahead of Pope’s funeral
US President Donald Trump has met with his Ukrainian counterpart, Volodymyr Zelenskyy for the first time since their stunning blow-up in the Oval office in late February.
Both the White House and Zelenskyy's office confirmed the meeting, which took place today in the hours before both men joined other world leaders and an estimated 200,000 Catholic faithful to farewell Pope Francis in St Peter's Square at the Vatican.
The Ukrainian Presidency shared striking images of the pair, seated without aides on relatively simple chairs amid the ornate surroundings of St Peter's Basilica.
