Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Donald Trump met in the Vatican on April 26. The Economist and Axios reported on the main messages of the Ukrainian president. According to the agencies, Ukrainian sources say that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy used his 15 minutes to deliver a simple message: Ukraine is ready for an unconditional ceasefire,

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.

It was their first face-to-face meeting since they argued in front of cameras in the Oval Office in February — and comes as efforts intensify to end Russia's war in Ukraine.
