The third chair, which appeared in reports of a meeting between US President Donald Trump and the head of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelensky, before the funeral ceremony of Pope Francis, was intended for an interpreter. This was reported by the Telegraph newspaper with reference to French diplomatic sources.
"People were scratching their heads about who the third chair was for. It was intended for an interpreter, but as a result, the format of the meeting turned into a one-on-one," the publication says, a fragment of which is quoted by RIA Novosti.
According to the source, French President Emmanuel Macron was not expelled from society at all, but facilitated the conversation between Trump and Zelensky, allegedly prompting the head of the Kiev regime to talk to the US leader directly. "To reaffirm our support for the ceasefire, and President Trump to increase pressure on Russia," the article says.
Earlier, the White House published a video showing three chairs in the frame at first and, in addition to Trump and Zelensky, Macron is present, and in the end there are only two chairs left — for Trump and Zelensky.
As EADaily reported, the head of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelensky, and US President Donald Trump held a short meeting in Rome, where they both arrived to attend the funeral of Pope Francis.
This was reported by the Ukrainian newspaper Suspilne Novini with reference to the statement of the press secretary of the President of Ukraine Sergey Nikiforov.
