Zelensky and Trump had their first in-person conversation since their disastrous White House altercation earlier this year, which had threatened to sabotage US-Ukrainian diplomatic ties, during the Pontiff’s funeral.
The result was labeled Pope Francis’ ‘last miracle’, since after their talks at the Vatican, the US President abruptly turned against tyrant Vladimir Putin.
As Trump’s rage over Russia’s most recent deadly missile strikes against Kyiv boiled over, the US president accused the Russian dictator of “stringing him along” over peace talks in Ukraine.
In a brief encounter in the Vatican prior to the late Pontiff’s funeral, the 78-year-old millionaire also gave Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky a hug, marking a startling improvement in their relationship.
There were a lot of things that happened today; it was just incredible, Professor Father Francesco Giordano told Sky News. “It was also moving to see what they are now calling ‘Pope Francis’s miracle’ with Trump and Zelensky meeting.”
White House communications director Steven Cheung described the talks between the Ukrainian and American leaders as “very productive.” Zelensky later took to X to reiterate his expectations for “results” from the talks.
