Italy's Meloni Ready to Help if Vatican Agrees to Trump's War Mediation Plan

Italy's Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has offered to facilitate peace talks hosted by the Vatican as proposed by President Donald Trump in May 2025.
The offer followed Trump's suggestion that the Vatican might mediate ceasefire negotiations amid stalled talks and continued Russian demands after Istanbul meetings.
Meloni's office positively viewed the Pope's willingness to host talks, while Ukraine and Russia remain undecided about venue preferences, and no firm agreement exists yet.
Trump stated on May 20, 2025, it would be "great" for the Vatican to hold the talks, expressing hope it could reduce hostility, while Zelensky described Meloni as having "cool ideas."
Though the Vatican's involvement could add moral authority, experts warn that Moscow aims for negotiation on its own terms and that meaningful progress appears unlikely soon.
