Zelensky expressed optimism about the meeting's potential for historic results, while discussions surrounding U.S.-Russia relations continue to evolve with increasing urgency amidst ongoing conflict.

"No words are needed to describe the importance of this historic meeting," Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha wrote on X, sharing a photo of the moment. "Two leaders working for peace in St. Peter's Basilica."
