#Reuters: "Zelensky told in detail what he discussed with Trump in the Vatican"
![]() 598 Saturday, 03 May, 2025, 19:49 Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said he discussed air defence systems and sanctions on Russia with Donald Trump on the sidelines of Pope Francis’ funeral at the Vatican, in what he called the best meeting the two had ever had. He said he raised the topic of sanctions with Trump at the impromptu meeting last week, and that Trump's response on this question was “very strong”. Zelenskiy did not give specifics. On the security element of the deal, Zelenskiy highlighted the importance of more effective air defences that have remained one of Kyiv's main requests to its allies throughout Russia's three-year-old full-scale invasion. |
