World leaders gathered at the Vatican for Pope Francis’ funeral, but tensions stole the spotlight.
French President Emmanuel Macron was visibly sidelined as former U.S. President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky held a private meeting.
A third chair, initially meant for Macron, was removed last minute.
Trump reaffirmed that “Crimea will stay with Russia,” sparking debate.
Zelensky appeared eager to include Macron, but the two-way discussion prevailed.
The incident highlights a dramatic shift in diplomatic dynamics as global leaders navigate the ongoing Ukraine-Russia conflict.
