Zelensky and Trump meet inside St Peter's Basilica
BBC ^ | Apr 26 | BBC

Posted on 04/26/2025 3:27:28 AM PDT by RandFan

Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky and US President Donald Trump have met inside St Peter's Basilica ahead of Pope Francis' funeral.

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

Trump and Zelensky are attending the service in Vatican City alongside other heads of state and royals including Prince William, UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron.

Their meeting comes one day after Trump said Russia and Ukraine were "very close to a deal", following talks between his envoy Steve Witkoff and Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow on Friday.

The meeting was the fourth such visit Witkoff had made to Russia since the start of the year, with the three-hour talks later described as "very useful" by Putin aide Yuri Ushakov.

Isn’t it great to have a coherent president?

Zelensky should’ve had an interpreter there! The last time he wasn’t comprehending anything that Trump was saying. Especially when Trump said you have no cards to play. And he responded. This is not a card game.I hope it ends positively.

After Zelensky begged Trump for more money and Trump said no more … he went to the collection box and pocketed the change

Yes. Unlike Trump. Would it have killed him to wear black?

Some of the dignitaries wore navy.

Zelensky wore fatigues.

I seriously doubt God cares about a color code.

Ever been to St. Peter’s?

It’s magnificent.

But not a house of God.

Not to my mind.

Navy blue is a perfectly acceptable choice.

Wonder if people having a cow got as irate about this travesty. From October, the UK, at St. Paul's Cathedral...

You ridiculed Zelensky for violating the dress code. I pointed out that Trump didn`t adhere to it either.

But of course you`re right. God doesn`t care for such things. Neither did the Pope. It`s no big thing.
