Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky has spoken to Pope Francis and suggested the Vatican could play a mediating role in ending the war with Russia.
In a post on Twitter, Zelensky said he told the Pope of the “difficult humanitarian situation.”
Zelensky added: “The mediating role of the Holy See in ending human suffering would be appreciated.”
It comes after Zelensky said on Monday that Jerusalem could potentially be a location for future top-level peace talks between Ukraine and Moscow.
