Zelensky sits down with Vance in Rome ahead of planned Trump-Putin call

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and US Vice President JD Vance held talks in Rome as the White House pressed for an end to Russia’s war in Ukraine. It was the first meeting between the two leaders since a disastrous shouting match in the Oval Office in February, when Vance accused Zelensky of being “disrespectful” toward US President Donald Trump.
