A White House spokesman, Stephen Cheung, called it a \u201cvery productive discussion,\u201d but gave no details.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">It came at a critical moment. The United States has presented Ukraine with a plan for a cease-fire in its war with Russia, leading to a postwar plan that would give Russia de facto control over all of the lands it has illegally seized since the invasion began three years ago. The proposal also includes a major reversal of American policy: a formal recognition by the United States that Crimea, seized by Moscow in 2014, is now Russian territory.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">Mr. Zelensky said this past week that Ukraine would never make that concession, noting that it would violate Ukraine\u2019s Constitution; most of the other nations in Europe would almost agree with Mr. Zelensky\u2019s view. But the Ukrainian leader has a <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/04\/25\/world\/europe\/ukraine-peace-counterproposal.html\" title=\"\">counterproposal<\/a> of his own, Ukrainian officials said, one that would end the conflict on far less generous terms for Russia, and would include billions of dollars in reparations for Ukraine, paid by Russia.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">The White House did not respond to queries about the specifics of the meeting in Vatican City. But it was a remarkable scene: an impromptu meeting between two men who have made no secret of their deep dislike and distrust for each other. In the minutes after they last saw each other, Mr. Zelensky was essentially evicted from the White House, a lunch for the two men left uneaten and an economic accord allowing the United States to help exploit much of Ukraine\u2019s minerals left unsigned.<\/p>\n<div data-testid=\"imageblock-wrapper\">\n<figure class=\"img-sz-medium css-d754w4 e1g7ppur0\" aria-label=\"media\" role=\"group\"><figcaption data-testid=\"photoviewer-children-caption\" class=\"css-gbc9ki ewdxa0s0\"><span class=\"css-jevhma e13ogyst0\">A picture made available by the Ukrainian presidential press office shows President Trump meeting privately with President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine on Saturday at St. Peter\u2019s Basilica on the sidelines of Pope Francis\u2019 funeral.<\/span><span class=\"css-14fe1uy e1z0qqy90\"><span class=\"css-1ly73wi e1tej78p0\">Credit&#8230;<\/span><span><span aria-hidden=\"false\">Ukrainian Presidential Press Service<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">The meeting at the Vatican came just as Mr. Trump was trying to push Mr. Zelensky and President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia into direct talks. \u201cThey are very close to a deal,\u201d <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/@realDonaldTrump\/114400805703099287\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Mr. Trump wrote on Truth Social<\/a> late Friday, after landing in Rome. \u201cThe two sides should now meet, at very high levels, to \u2018finish it off.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">His enthusiasm may be premature. The proposal turned out by the Trump administration and Mr. Zelensky\u2019s alternative showed a huge gap even on the question of what the Russians should be offered. And neither of the proposals meet several of Mr. Putin\u2019s demands, including that the size of Ukraine\u2019s military be sharply limited.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">Mr. Zelensky posted a positive-sounding description of the meeting on X that made clear that he had learned one lesson from his Oval Office encounter: Always show gratitude, even if he and Mr. Trump differ significantly on the terms for ending the war.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">\u201cGood meeting,\u201d <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/ZelenskyyUa\/status\/1916089502088524203\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">he wrote<\/a>, saying that among the points covered were \u201cfull and unconditional ceasefire,\u201d and a \u201creliable and lasting peace that will prevent another war from breaking out.\u201d The last was particularly important: Mr. Trump\u2019s proposal has only vague security guarantees for Ukraine. The Ukrainian proposal is far more specific, calling for a European peacekeeping force with the U.S. providing backup.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">\u201cVery symbolic meeting that has potential to become historic, if we achieve joint results,\u201d he wrote, careful to use the word \u201cpotential.\u201d He ended with: \u201cThank you @POTUS.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">Since his inauguration, Mr. Trump has made clear that he wanted his first trip overseas in this term to be to the Middle East, starting with Saudi Arabia, the site of his initial visit during his first term in office. But on Saturday morning, he was in Europe, making his way to Vatican City to pay his respects at the pontiff\u2019s funeral.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">As the ceremonies began, Mr. Trump was surrounded by European leaders he has been denouncing as freeloaders unwilling to pay their share of the continent\u2019s defense, and leaders of the European Union, which he said was \u201cformed in order to screw the United States.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">On his way to Italy on Friday, Mr. Trump told reporters on Air Force One that he was attending the funeral \u201cout of respect\u201d for Francis, noting, \u201cI won the Catholic vote.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">The seating plan released by the Vatican had guests seated in their group in alphabetical order based on their country\u2019s name in French. That put Mr. Trump in the front row between the leaders of Finland and Estonia \u2014 two countries deeply worried about Russia\u2019s \u201cshadow war\u201d against their countries \u2014 and just down from President Emmanuel Macron of France. Mr. Trump, Mr. Macron and Mr. Zelensky all chatted briefly before the services began.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">Mr. Trump\u2019s every handshake and conversation at the funeral was watched for meaning. He briefly greeted Ursula von der Leyen, the president of the European Commission, the executive arm of the European Union, who was sitting a few chairs down from Mr. Trump. White House reporters traveling with the president, but kept at a considerable distance, reported that the two appeared to chat, funereal protocols aside. In the past three months, Ms. von der Leyen was conspicuously absent from the leaders visiting the White House.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async
