Trump met Zelensky in Rome before Pope Francis's funeral today. The White House called their talk very productive but gave no other details. This happened right after Trump claimed Russia and Ukraine were close to making peace. His messenger, Steve Witkoff, visited Moscow Friday to speak with Putin for three hours. Russian officials said the meeting helped both countries better understand each other about Ukraine and other world problems.
Both leaders joined other important guests at the Vatican service, such as Prince William and French President Macron. Witkoff has gone to Russia four times since January on Trump's behalf. Putin aide Yuri Ushakov mentioned they discussed possible direct talks between Russian and Ukrainian officials. The White House promised to share more information about what Trump and Zelensky discussed during their private meeting in Rome.
