Pope Leo Offers Vatican for Russia-Ukraine Peace Talks

Season 1, Ep. 8294

Pope Leo XIV has offered the Vatican as a venue for peace talks between Ukraine and Russia, following the failed negotiations in Istanbul where Putin was notably absent. The Vatican called Putin’s no-show “tragic” and reaffirmed its openness to mediation. Cardinal Parolin acknowledged the difficulty of the situation but stressed the Holy See’s readiness. In his first Sunday blessing, Pope Leo urged both leaders to “meet, talk, and negotiate,” emphasizing that peacemakers are the ones who truly “make history.” The Pope has pledged to prioritize peace throughout his papacy.
