Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelenskyy have sat down for a face-to-face talk in the opulent halls of a Vatican basilica to discuss a possible ceasefire, after which the US president accused his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, of not wanting to “stop the war”.

The White House described Trump’s meeting with the Ukrainian leader before Pope Francis’s funeral as “very productive”, while Zelenskyy said on X that the talk with the US president was symbolic and had the “potential to become historic, if we achieve joint results”.

It was the first time that Zelenskyy and Trump had met face to face after a frosty February encounter in the White House where Trump and the US vice-president, JD Vance, berated the Ukrainian leader and accused him of ingratitude for US aid.

    Hilarious that you think Putin, Mao, and Stalin are politically in the same category. Mao is much more like Lenin than Stalin. But Putin isn’t even a communist. That you can’t figure this out is why your analyses are always so disconnected from reality.

      Hilarious that your view of people who disagree with you is so myopic and simplistic that you can’t even conceive there is maybe some other possible explanation for what I said. But of course you have all the answers, so why would you ever question that? Y’all are all the same. Enjoy the boot and general genocide defending. Also, suck my farts.

      Feel free to have the last word, I’m sure it’s very important to you. I won’t be reading it either way

        Oh, you believe that all three are guilty of genocide? Ignorance isn’t a position that is deserving of respect.
