The American portal Axios, citing sources, revealed details of a brief conversation between the president of the United States Donald Trump and the president of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenski during the ceremony of Pope Francis in the Vatican on 26 April. The information was provided by 2 anonymous callers acquainted with the content of the meeting.

Zelenski's advisors were to be very afraid and undecided whether to hazard another face-to-face conversation with Trump after what happened in the Oval Office on 28 February.
There were no erstwhile arrangements – the thought was that Trump and Zelenski would effort to meet after the ceremony of the Pope. Eventually, they "took each other" upon their arrival and found a place to talk privately in St Peter's Basilica.
According to sources, Volodymyr Zelenski told Trump that Putin would "not decision away" unless the president of the United States started putting more force on him. Trump was expected to answer that he might gotta change his approach to the Russian leader – which coincides with his post post after the interview.
Zelenski was besides expected to call for a return to the first U.S. proposal for unconditional ceasefire as a "point of departure" for peace talks – which Ukraine agreed to, but Russia did not. 1 interviewer said Trump seemed to agree with this approach.
The president of Ukraine reiterated that Ukraine does not recognise Crimea as Russia's territory, to which Trump replied that it did not ask for it. Zelenski pointed out that “he is not afraid of compromises” to end the war, but needs credible safety guarantees.
Sources besides study that Trump pressed for Zelenski to sign the alleged natural resources agreement quickly.
