President Trump has held an extraordinary one-to-one meeting with President Zelensky on the fringes of the Pope’s funeral before accusing President Putin of stringing him along over ending the war in Ukraine.
A Ukraine-Russia peace deal appeared to be inching closer after the intense exchanges in St Peter’s Basilica. Zelensky said that their 15-minute conversation had the “potential to become historic”, while the White House described it as “a very productive discussion”.
