Cardinal Parolin: Pope Leo Wants Peace Between Russia and Ukraine, Not a Role in Negotiations
- On May 28, 2025, Cardinal Pietro Parolin stated that Pope Leo XIV offers the Vatican as a neutral venue for possible peace talks between Russia and Ukraine, without mediating.
- This offer arose from the urgent need to stop the killing and encourage negotiation, though mediation was not requested by either side, and Russia declined the offer.
- Cardinal Parolin emphasized that international humanitarian law must apply universally and called for a truce to stop devastation and civilian casualties in conflict zones, including Gaza.
- He also demanded Hamas release all hostages and return bodies, condemning the October 7, 2023, attack on Israel as barbaric and reiterating the call to end bombardments and provide aid to civilians.
- The Vatican aims to promote peace and fraternity without seeking prominence, stressing the urgent need for a stable and just peace, accepted by all parties involved.
