President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met briefly Saturday before the funeral for Pope Francis as the American leader steps up the pressure to end Russia’s war against Ukraine.

In life, Francis bore the weight of the war — particularly repatriating the 19,000 Ukrainian kids who have been deported to Russia, according to Joe Donnelly, the most recent U.S. ambassador to the Holy See, who spoke with Playbook today from Rome, where he had just attended the funeral.
