What a moment at St. Peter’s Basilica.
Two side-by-side photos showing former President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy seated and conversing inside St. Peter’s Basilica at the Vatican. They are sitting closely together on red and gold chairs, facing each other with heads bowed slightly as they talk. The grand marble floor beneath them features intricate geometric patterns with yellow, black, white, and burgundy inlays. Towering marble columns and richly detailed religious artwork, including a large framed painting of a biblical scene, form the backdrop. The atmosphere is solemn and intimate within the vast, ornate basilica.

I don't think it is possible to construct a limiting principle around "people who do great harm should be assassinated" and it's definitely impossible to build a consensus around one -- opens the door to killing politicians, journalists, doctors providing abortions or trans health care, etc.
