周六与泽连斯基会面后，川普发布在他的社交媒体平台上Truth Social表示，“过去几天，普京没有理由向平民区、城市和城镇发射导弹。”
“这让我觉得，也许他不想停止战争，他只是在利用我，必须通过‘银行’或‘二次制裁’来区别对待?”太多人快死了!!!”他在帖子里说。
据记者团称，泽连斯基和他的妻子奥莱娜·泽伦斯卡坐在离川普和第一夫人梅兰妮·特朗普大约七个人的地方。
前总统拜登和前第一夫人吉尔拜登在他们后面大约四排。
Trump, Zelenskyy meet privately ahead of pope's funeral
PresidentDonald Trumpand Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met privatelyin St. Peter's Basilicaon Saturday before attending the funeral forPope Francis.
French President Emmanuel Macron also spoke to Trump and Zelenskyy before they sat down to talk, according to avideo postedby White House deputy chief of staff Dan Scavino.
White House Communications Director Steven Cheung told the press pool traveling with Trump that the two men had a "very productive session." More details about the meeting "will follow," he said.
"Good meeting. We discussed a lot one on one," Zelenskyyposted on Xafter the meeting. "Hoping for results on everything we covered. Protecting lives of our people. Full and unconditional ceasefire. Reliable and lasting peace that will prevent another war from breaking out. Very symbolic meeting that has potential to become historic, if we achieve joint results."
This was the first meeting between the two men since theircontentious encounterin the White House Oval Office in late February.
Late Friday, following special envoy Steve Witkoff's meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow earlier in the day, Trump posted that it was "a good day in talks and meetings with Russia and Ukraine," and he suggested it's now time for the two sides to meet at "very high levels."
"They are very close to a deal, and the two sides should now meet, at very high levels, to "finish it off," he wrote on his social media site.
"Most of the major points are agreed to. Stop the bloodshed, NOW. We will be wherever is necessary to help facilitate the END to this cruel and senseless war!" Trump added in the post, but provided no additional information about the apparent progress.
On Saturday after the meeting with Zelenskyy, Trumpposted on his social media platformTruth Social that there was "no reason for Putin to be shooting missiles into civilian areas, cities and towns, over the last few days."
"It makes me think that maybe he doesn't want to stop the war, he's just tapping me along, and has to be dealt with differently, through 'Banking' or 'Secondary Sanctions?' Too many people are dying!!!" he said in the post.
Zelenskyy and his wife, Olena Zelenska, were seated about seven people away from Trump and the first lady Melania Trump, according to the press pool.
Former President Biden and former first lady Jill Biden were about four rows behind them.
