Images of President Zelensky and Donald Trump having a private conversation at the funeral of Pope Francis have emerged.
The relationship between the US and Ukrainian presidents has been marked by a series of complex interactions, beginning with a controversial phone call in 2019 and evolving through various meetings and diplomatic engagements.
In July 2019, Trump held a phone conversation with newly elected Ukrainian President Zelensky. During this call, Trump urged Zelensky to investigate Joe Biden and his son, Hunter, in relation to Ukraine. This conversation became the centrepiece of the Trump–Ukraine scandal, leading to Trump's first impeachment by the US House of Representatives in December 2019 on charges of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.
