Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyj says the conversation with Trump at Pope Frans’ funeral in the Vatican a week ago, perhaps the best they have ever had, writes AFP. In statements through the president’s administration, the Ukrainian president says that the mineral agreement with the United States is advantageous for both parties and that it gives Ukraine the opportunity to protect future US investments. According to Zelenskyj, he and Trump agree that a 30-day ceasefire is the right first step to end the war. He says he raised the topic of sanctions with Trump at the meeting, and that the response from the US president on this question was “very strong”.
