Pope Offer To Host Russia-Ukraine Talks

 

Pope Leo XIV has offered to host Russia-Ukraine peace talks in a gesture welcomed by US and European leaders, Italy’s Prime Minister Georgia Meloni said on Monday.

US President Donald Trump and a number of European leaders discussed the offer in a call after Trump spoke with Russia’s President Vladimir Putin, Meloni said in a statement.

She said “the availability of the holy father to welcome the talks at the Vatican was judged positively”.
