British television channel published an unexpected analysis of the photo of the meeting between Zelensky and Trump in Rome.

U.S. President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky met in Rome before the funeral of Pope Francis. It was a tense meeting, as the previous one ended with a public scandal in the Oval Office. Journalists analyzed the released photos of the presidents' communication. The leaders of the U.S. and Ukraine sat opposite each other in separate chairs. In the photo, Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelensky exchange glances with their hands on their knees. In another shot, Zelensky seems to be arguing with the American president. The frames convey the tension in their interaction.

They resemble a confessor and a sinner, only we cannot distinguish who is who

, the analysis states. The content of their conversation remains unknown. However, Zelensky couldn't forget that Trump announced this week the terms of a peace agreement that involve significant concessions from Ukraine. Donald Trump proposed a plan to Kyiv and Moscow that, according to analysts, appears very beneficial for Russia. Ukraine is to return occupied territories to Russia, finally agree to the loss of Crimea, and also allow the distribution of its natural resources in favor of the U.S. After the meeting, Zelensky stated: "It was a good meeting that could become historic if we achieve results together." According to Zelensky, they discussed Ukraine's security issues, the need for a complete and unconditional ceasefire, and the prospect of lasting peace that would prevent a new war. Trump's peace proposal only includes vague security guarantees for Ukraine from other states, without involving the U.S. and without the prospect of Ukraine joining NATO. Ukraine's allies are closely watching the developments. They are waiting to see if Trump will pressure Vladimir Putin or, in the event of a failed agreement, blame Kyiv and start seeking rapprochement with Moscow.

If he does, America's role as a guarantor of international security will come to an end. This could be the week we see the funeral of the global order as we have known it since World War II, like the funeral of the Pope today

, the publication concluded. It should be noted that Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelensky met before the funeral of Pope Francis. The next meeting of the presidents is scheduled after the pontiff's burial. The White House commented on the leaders' meeting: "Trump and Zelensky had a very productive meeting," they stated. The presidents also agreed to continue the meeting after the burial. The presidents met in St. Peter's Basilica, and the meeting lasted about 15 minutes. Teams are working on organizing a continuation of the meeting. Earlier, U.S. President Donald Trump announced a "good day in negotiations and meetings with Russia and Ukraine." He also emphasized that both sides are very close to concluding a peace agreement.
