More than 50 world leaders attended the pope’s funeral, including President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. The two met at the Vatican prior to the funeral. The meeting came a day after Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff met with Russian President Vladimir Putin at the Kremlin. On Sunday, Trump expressed disappointment with Putin for continuing to attack Ukraine while refusing to agree to a U.S.-brokered deal to end the war in Ukraine.
Earlier today, Putin announced a unilateral three-day ceasefire in Ukraine beginning on May 8. On Sunday, Russia fired nearly 150 drones at Ukraine, killing at least four people. Meanwhile, North Korea has confirmed for the first time that it had sent combat troops to fight alongside Russian forces.
