The White House said their discussion was “very productive” and that more details would be released later. The meeting lasted about 15 minutes inside St. Peter’s Basilica at the Vatican just before they took their seats for the outdoor funeral service. Zelenskyy said “good meeting” on social media after the funeral.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met with U.S. President Donald Trump on April 26. Both leaders are in Rome to attend the funeral of Pope Francis, according to the President's Press Secretary Serhii Nikiforov.
