Russian President Vladimir Putin held a rare and “constructive” phone call with Pope Leo XIV, accusing Ukraine of deliberately escalating the conflict by sabotaging civilian infrastructure inside Russia. Putin referenced recent train bombings in Bryansk and Kursk as acts of terrorism. He also updated the Pontiff on resumed peace talks with Kiev, the exchange of prisoners, and efforts to reunite displaced children. Putin urged the Pope to support religious freedom in Ukraine and thanked the Holy See for its role in mediating humanitarian issues. #Putin #PopeLeoXIV #RussiaUkraineWar #PeaceTalks #Vatican #Kremlin #Sabotage #Bryansk #Kursk #OrthodoxChurch #UkraineCrisis #HolySee #VaticanMediation #PopeCall #PutinPopeCall #ChildReunification #ReligiousFreedom #CivilianTargets #RussiaDiplomacy #UkraineWarEscalation Also Read 'Something Happened To This Guy': Trump Slams Putin For Russia's Fresh Attack On Ukraine :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/something-happened-to-this-guy-trump-slams-putin-for-russias-fresh-attack-on-ukraine-4163675.html?ref=DMDesc Donald Trump Says Russia-Ukraine Ceasefire Talks To Begin 'Immediately' Following Call With Putin :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/donald-trump-says-russia-ukraine-ceasefire-talks-to-begin-immediately-following-call-with-putin-4158165.html?ref=DMDesc Russian President Vladimir Putin Calls PM Modi To Condemn Pahalgam Terror Attack :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/russian-president-vladimir-putin-calls-pm-modi-to-condemn-pahalgam-terror-attack-4143787.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.102~GR.124~

Pope Leo XIV Meets Zelensky at Inauguration Mass | 1st American Pope Vows to end Russian-Ukraine War

In a historic and politically charged moment at the Vatican, Pope Leo XIV, the first American pontiff, shook hands with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and First Lady Olena Zelenska as his inaugural Mass drew to a close. But the gesture was more than ceremonial. In his first global address, Pope Leo XIV vowed to make “every effort” to help end the war in Ukraine and later condemned the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, saying people had been “reduced to famine.” World leaders—including U.S. Vice President JD Vance, UK Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner, and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney—looked on as faith and geopolitics collided in St. Peter’s Square. Is the new pope signaling a bold new era of Vatican diplomacy? Can faith intervene where politics has failed? #PopeLeoXIV #Zelensky #Vatican2025 #PapalInauguration #UkraineWar #GazaCrisis #CatholicChurch #FaithAndPolitics #FirstAmericanPope #JDVance #StPetersSquare #VaticanNews #WorldLeaders #PopeAndPeace #HumanitarianCrisis #ReligionAndGeopolitics ~HT.410~PR.274~ED.102~GR.124~
