President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met ahead of Pope Francis' funeral at the Vatican, according to sources.
The two leaders agreed to hold further talks after the service. They joined a gathering of world figures, including Sir Keir Starmer and Emmanuel Macron, at St Peter's Square, where Zelenskyy received applause.

Trump recently said on Truth Social that a peace deal was “very close” and urged Zelenskyy to “get it done.”
