Private meeting between Ukrainian Prez and Trump
According to the White House, Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and US President Donald Trump met privately. They had a “very productive discussion”, BBC reported.
The meeting took place inside St Peter’s Basilica after they paid their respects to the Pope, Italy’s Rai TV reported. This was their first meeting since the tense encounter in the Oval Office at the end of Feb. During the last meeting, Zelensky was accused of failing to properly thank the US for its aid to Ukraine.
