U.S. President Donald Trump questioned whether Russian President Vladimir Putin wants to "stop the war" with Ukraine. Trump's post came after he met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy just before the funeral of Pope Francis in Rome.

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.

The meeting between the two leaders at Pope Francis’s funeral was symbolic in part because of the Pope’s advocacy for a just end to the war in Ukraine.
