Despite meeting Donald Trump in the Vatican at the Pope's funeral, Volodymyr Zelensky is resisting a US peace proposal issued as an ultimatum to Kyiv and Moscow. The Times' Diplomatic Editor Roger Boyes argues that Trump's desire for a victory lap before his 100th day in office is putting the Ukrainian president in an untenable position.  The World in 10 is the Times' daily podcast dedicated to global security.

  • Local, national, global, there's always an election,

  • and politicians are always thinking about the next one.

  • The smell of victory, of X's in ballot papers, is the thing that actually makes it worthwhile.

  • On How To Win An Election,

  • we've assembled a crack team of strategists who've all been at the top political table for both the good times and the terribly bad.

  • In the end, that is what a prime minister does.

  • Every week, we answer the big political questions.

  • Are we living in Morgan McSweeney's government or Keir Starmer's?

  • Listen to How to Win an Election wherever you get your podcasts.

  • Best episode yet.

  • Welcome to The World in 10.

  • In an increasingly uncertain world, this is The Times' daily podcast dedicated to global security.

  • Today with me, Alex Dibble and Tom Noonan.

  • Among the many striking images from Pope Francis' funeral on Saturday,

  • one could have far-reaching consequences on the world stage.

  • The US and Ukrainian presidents, Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelensky,

  • hunched over close to each other,

  • deep in conversation on small chairs in the vast St Peter's Basilica,

  • their first in-person meeting since arguing in the Oval Office back in February.

  • That impromptu meeting on Saturday came as the pressure ratchets up on Zelensky.
