Șeful diplomației Vaticanului, în prima vizită la Moscova de la începutul războiului

The Vatican's Secretary for Relations with States, Paul Richard Gallagher, is visiting Russia to maintain dialogue amid ongoing tensions. This marks the first visit since the Ukraine conflict began. Gallagher will meet with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and representatives of the Moscow Patriarchate, focusing on humanitarian initiatives and potential peace negotiations. Despite the Vatican's efforts, relations remain strained due to the alignment of the Russian Orthodox Church with Kremlin policies. Pope Leo XIV has called for dialogue and humanitarian support, while diplomatic efforts to end the conflict face challenges as hostilities escalate.
