U.S. President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Saturday held a brief discussion in the soaring halls of St. Peter’s Basilica amid the funeral of Pope Francis, speaking “one-on-one” about possible peace overtures in the Russia-Ukraine war.

“[It was a] good meeting. We discussed a lot one-on-one,” Zelenskyy said in a post on X. “Hoping for results on everything we covered.”

The Ukrainian leader hailed the informal mini-summit as “very symbolic.” The talk took place while the leaders were at the Vatican for the funeral of Pope Francis, who for the last few years of his pontificate was a tireless advocate for peace in the Russia-Ukraine war.

"With all of that being said, there was no reason for Putin to be shooting missiles into civilian areas, cities and towns, over the last few days. It makes me think that maybe he doesn’t want to stop the war, he’s just tapping me along, and has to be dealt with differently, through “Banking” or “Secondary Sanctions?” Too many people are dying!!!"

And we are back to square one - no deal and sanctions, again.

Putin should be charged with war crimes. Targeting civilians in this day and age is barbaric.

It would be a shock to think that Putin doesn't want peace, after all he is the victim in this brutal war started by Ukraine.
This is the dumbest post I've ever read regarding this conflict.


Putin just recently Targets citizens and the poster writes it'd be a shock to discover Putin doesn't want peace?

Ukraine started this war?

Oh wait. Was this post sarcasm?

Look back, you'll find worse.

Of course he wants peace. Everyone remembers the footage of Ukranian tanks pouring into Russia and Ukranian paratroops attacking the main airport in Moscow.
Ukraine started this war?
I have read it so on this forum.
Oh wait. Was this post sarcasm?
Of course.

God Bless You :)

Former national security adviser John Bolton said the Saturday meeting between President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Rome is a “significant” step towards reestablishing a better channel of communication between the heads of state.

“I think the meeting was significant. I think this is a significant step back toward sensible conversation between the two leaders,” Bolton, a frequent Trump critic, said during his Saturday appearance on CNN.

"A Presbyterian and a Jew walk into the Vatican..."
What a joke! They go there to supposedly attend a funeral, and come out leaving the global elites smiling from ear to ear!
It seems the deep state is getting to Trump again as they did in his first term (bombing Syria, etc.)
Just a reminder that "cursed is the one who trusts in man".
