26.04.2025 ⇢ Day Trump Shifted From Ultimatums To Doubting Putin
⌨The Trump-Zelensky unexpected meeting in Rome during Pope Francis's funeral marked a significant pivot in diplomatic dynamics. Following three days of increasing tensions after Trump's ultimatum on territorial concessions collapsed the London talks, their Vatican encounter was described by both sides as "constructive" and "productive."
Media reports in the morning revealed US willingness to provide security guarantees to a "coalition of the willing" supporting Ukraine, suggesting flexibility in American positions.
By afternoon, Trump's tone shifted dramatically. After meeting Zelensky, he publicly questioned whether Putin genuinely wants peace, threatening new sanctions against Russia. This contrasts sharply with his previous demands that Ukraine cede territories.
Zelensky described the meeting as potentially "historic" if concrete results emerge. Trump also promised Estonia's president not to abandon peace negotiations, while Zelensky consulted with European leaders about a new sanctions package against Russia.
