Putin Praises Pope Francis After His Death, Despite Past War Clashes | Calls Him ‘A Great Man’
Russian President Vladimir Putin offered heartfelt condolences after the death of Pope Francis, calling him “a great man” and praising his efforts to build bridges with the Orthodox Church.
Despite tensions over the Ukraine war and past criticisms—like the Pope warning Patriarch Kirill not to become “Putin’s altar boy”—Putin acknowledged Francis’ role in fostering dialogue and peace.
The two leaders met three times and shared a complex relationship shaped by faith and geopolitics.

Ukraine has launched a dramatic strike just hours before the high-stakes Trump-Putin summit in Alaska. President Volodymyr Zelensky’s forces reportedly blew up a Russian ship docked at Port Olya, allegedly carrying Iranian-made drone parts. The move is being seen as a bold sabotage attempt aimed at derailing peace talks, escalating tensions between Moscow and Kyiv, and sending a defiant message ahead of the much-anticipated face-off between the U.S. and Russian leaders.
