"I am grateful to his holiness for Pope Leo XIV for the wise words about the readiness of the Holy Throne to take the role of mediator in the restoration of peace around the world. Peace is the most cherished desire for millions of our people," the President said. Zelensky added that Ukraine hopes to restore a decent peace and make every effort.
"We appreciate the wise statement of the pontiff and confirm our devotion to a real peaceful effort, including a complete ceasefire and a personal meeting at the highest level between Ukraine and Russia," the Head of State summed up. On May 8, the new Pope after the death of Pope Francis became American Cardinal Robert Francis Prevo, who chose the name Lev XIV.
On May 14, Pope Lion XIV, taking 23 Eastern Christian churches in the Vatican, offered his mediation to the parties to the world who are fighting. "The people want peace, and by putting my hand on the heart, I tell the leaders of the people: let's meet, let's talk, let's negotiate! We will remind, Donald Trump is ready to come to the meeting of delegations of the Russian Federation and Ukraine in Istanbul on May 15 only if Russian President Vladimir Putin will be present.
