Volodymyr Zelenskiy said he’d like to meet Donald Trump at the Vatican on Saturday where global leaders will attend the funeral of Pope Francis.
The Ukrainian leader’s push for a meeting with Trump comes just days after the American president warned he was ready to walk away from efforts to end the war in Ukraine if a deal can’t be reached soon. Speaking to reporters in Kyiv on Tuesday, Zelenskiy said his team would be ready to discuss an “unconditional ceasefire or partial ceasefire” during talks set to take place in London with Ukraine’s allies.
