(Reuters) – Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskiy spoke by phone with newly elected Pope Leo XIV on Monday and said they discussed Ukrainian children abducted by Russia and a proposal from allies for a 30-day ceasefire which Moscow has so far not accepted.
Zelenkiy said on the Telegram app that his first conversation with the new pontiff was “very warm and truly substantive”, and that he had invited the pope to visit Ukraine.
