Zuppi to discuss humanitarian issues of the war
Cardinal Matteo Zuppi was appointed as the Holy See's peace envoy for Ukraine by Pope Francis.
The last time he visited Moscow was in October 2024. At that time he conducted talks on family reunification, exchange of prisoners of war, and prospects for dialogue on bringing the war to an end.
Zelensky named a condition for diplomatic talks
President Volodymyr Zelensky previously stated that Ukraine is ready to stop at the current line of contact and move to diplomatic talks if Russia agrees to an unconditional ceasefire.
He said this in an interview with CBC News.
The Ukrainian leader explained that this refers to cessation of hostilities along the line of contact and shifting the situation to a diplomatic track with the mediation of certain partners.
“Yes, we are ready for that. If the Russians are ready to cease fire — yes, without conditions, simply a ceasefire and negotiations,” Zelensky said.
According to him, if Russia later decides to continue the war, that will be its choice. At the same time, Zelensky emphasized that the better option is to stop the war without further losses and move to a diplomatic settlement.
