VIDEO: Awkward Zelensky-Vance Handshake Steals Spotlight At Pope Leo XIV’s Inauguration

A tense and visibly awkward handshake between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and U.S. Vice President J.D.

Vance during Pope Leo XIV’s inauguration Mass drew widespread attention.

The brief exchange, caught on live cameras in St.

Peter’s Square, highlighted the strained dynamics amid the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict and differing diplomatic tones from Washington.

While the ceremony was meant to symbolize unity and faith, the body language between Zelensky and Vance hinted at underlying geopolitical tensions that momentarily overshadowed the solemnity of the papal event.
