The funeral ceremony for late Pope Francis developed into a “Ball of Club Members”. The mainstream and socialite media report as if it was a happy royal wedding.
Western elites greeted each other in the overcrowded Vatican. Sure, it was no fun to attend, but an obligation for some.
V Selensky, till the last moment, was not sure to attend, sending his wife in advance.
The most prominent attendees at the funeral were Donald and Melania Trump.
Trump and Selensky had a quick talk in the St. Peter’s Cathedral on the sidelines of the requiem held for the late Pope. What did they talk about? The White House already commented that this short talk was “productive”.
At the same time, US Special Envoy Witkoff returned from Moscow with the same message: “productive talks” – as well confirmed by the Russian side.
Considering that Selensky, till yesterday, the day before his arrival in Rome, refused to accept Crimea as Russian, the talks may have been all productive, but it remains questionable if the talks produce an agreement.
Trump is optimistic and says that an agreement is almost reached. Yes, almost. As it seems that Selensky’s European backers, so some newspapers alleged, have requested Selensky to accept Trump’s peace deal.
And Trump demands that Selensky signs the Minerals Deal … NOW.
Productive talks all over, yes. But conclusive, no. And the Russian side needs to comment and accept what will be presented to them as a Deal. Russia still has the final say.
And Selensky gets a standing ovation and applauds from the crowd – the propaganda worked well with the people who just read from time to time some headlines.
