President Donald Trump met up with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy ahead of Pope Francis' funeral, where the two leaders are said to have put their differences aside and reached an agreement.

According to Sky News, the two leaders came face-to-face for the first time since their dramatic showdown at the White House earlier this year.

According to a source speaking to the outlet, the pair had a 'very productive discussion' after travelling to Rome for the service.

Earlier this week, Trump claimed that a peace deal between Ukraine and Russia was 'very close' and urged Zelenskyy to 'get it done'.

"We are very close to a deal, but the man with 'no cards to play' should now, finally, GET IT DONE," he wrote on his Truth Social platform.

"I look forward to being able to help Ukraine, and Russia, get out of this complete and total MESS, that would have never started if I were president!"

Meanwhile, on Thursday, Trump condemned a Russia drone strike that killed nine people in Kyiv and insisted he was 'not happy' with the action.

The attack in question killed at least nine people and injured 90, making it the deadliest assault on the Ukrainian capital since last July.

Taking to his social media platform, Truth Social, he posted: "I am not happy with the Russian strikes on KYIV. Not necessary, and very bad timing. Vladimir, STOP! 5000 soldiers a week are dying. Let's get the Peace Deal DONE!"

It's reported that Trump and Zelenskyy have made an agreement to hold more talks following the service for Pope Francis.

UNILAD has reached out to the White House for comment.

Today (April 26), the funeral proceedings of the Pope have commenced, with hundreds of thousands flocking to St Peter's Square in Vatican City, including world leaders such as President of France Emmanuel Macron and Prime Minister of the UK Keir Starmer.

The service had only recently started when Trump was criticised for his lack of 'respect'.

Trump arrived alongside wife Melania, joining the likes of Starmer, Zelenskyy and also Prince William for the proceedings.

He's since been slammed on social media for showing up wearing not a black, but a blue suit

One Twitter user wrote: "Trump the only world leader without the respect to wear black at Pope Francis funeral. He’s a disgrace to America and the world. God bless Pope Francis."

"What is it with Trump that he did not even have the decency to wear a black tie, never mind he wore a blue suit," a second commented.

Prior to leaving Washington yesterday, Trump said of Francis: "[He] loved the world, actually, and he was just a good man. I thought he was a fantastic kind of a guy."

However, he then went on to discuss how the funeral would also see him able to 'meet with a lot' of other world leaders.

Trump told MSNBC: "It's going to be very interesting. We're going to meet with a lot of the foreign leaders, they want to meet.

"Trade deals are going very well. I think Russia and Ukraine, I think they are coming along, we hope, very fragile.

"And Iran I think is going very well. We'll see what happens. We're working on plenty of things."
