Briefly

Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met for the first time since their February confrontation at the White House, discussing pressing issues privately in St. Peter's Basilica before Pope Francis' funeral. With leaders from France and the UK present, both expressed optimism about the outcomes of their talk. Zelenskyy emphasized the symbolic nature of the meeting and its historic potential, aiming for concrete results such as a ceasefire and lasting peace amidst Ukraine's ongoing conflict with Russia.
