Milan, Dec. 9 (LaPresse) – “Ukraine deeply appreciates all the support of His Holiness Pope Leo XIV and the Holy See: humanitarian assistance continues and the willingness to expand humanitarian missions.” This is what Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky wrote in a post on the social platform X after his meeting with the Pope. “During today’s audience with His Holiness, I thanked him for his constant prayers for Ukraine and the Ukrainian people, as well as for his calls for a just peace,” the post reads. “I informed the Pope of the diplomatic efforts made with the United States to achieve peace. We discussed further actions and the Vatican’s mediation aimed at bringing back our children kidnapped by Russia.”
“I am grateful to His Holiness for all his efforts in support of young Ukrainians,” Zelensky added. “Thank you for this conversation and for all the attention given to our people. I have invited the Pope to visit Ukraine. It would be a powerful signal of support for our people.”
