Ukraine’s Zelensky Attend Pope Leo’s Inaugural Mass

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is scheduled to be present at the first mass of Pope Leo on May 18 in St Peter's Square, Vatican City.
Pope Leo’s installation follows the April 26 funeral of Pope Francis, which Zelensky also attended, and the mass will formally install the new leader of 1.4 billion Catholics.
Many world leaders, including US officials led by Vance, the presidents of Israel, Peru, Nigeria, and European dignitaries, are expected to attend the mass.
An aide to Zelensky indicated he is open to engaging with other leaders during the event, while US Secretary Marco Rubio suggested the Vatican could serve as a neutral location agreeable to both parties for negotiations.
The attendance of Zelensky and multiple leaders suggests the inauguration could facilitate diplomatic dialogue amid ongoing geopolitical tensions.
