Zelensky and Trump poised for pivotal Vatican meeting
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced on Tuesday that he is ready to meet with Donald Trump during their visit to the Vatican. Both leaders have confirmed their participation in the funeral of Pope Francis, which is scheduled to take place on Saturday.
During Tuesday's briefing, Volodymyr Zelensky expressed his readiness to meet with U.S. President Donald Trump at the Vatican, reports Ukrinform.
When asked whether a meeting between the leaders of Ukraine and the United States has been planned, Zelensky responded, "We are always ready to meet with our partners from the United States."
On Saturday, the funeral of Pope Francis, who passed away on Monday, will be held at the Vatican. Many world leaders have announced their participation in the ceremonies, including U.S. President Donald Trump, who is expected to arrive with his wife Melania, and the President of Ukraine.
Last week, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced that the United States may withdraw from attempts to bring about peace between Russia and Ukraine if there are no signs of reaching an agreement in the coming days.
