Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has provided the Vatican a list of Ukrainians detained by the Russian military, seeking diplomatic mediation for their release.
The Holy See has received a list of Ukrainians held in Russian prisons and camps. We are counting on the support [of Vatican] for their release,” Zelenskyy stated on social media.
He also revealed that he had a phone conversation with Cardinal Pietro Parolin, the Holy See’s secretary of state, during which he wished Pope Francis—hospitalized in Rome’s Gemelli Hospital—a speedy recovery.
“I thanked him for his prayers and moral support for our people, as well as for his efforts in facilitating the return of Ukrainian children illegally deported and displaced by Russia,” Zelenskyy added, expressing gratitude for the Vatican’s prayers for Ukraine and peace.
“The voice of the Holy See is very important on the path to peace. I am grateful for the willingness to make efforts toward our shared goal,” Zelenskyy stated.
He also mentioned his government’s approval of the United States’ proposal for a temporary ceasefire, a compromise reached after more than eight hours of negotiations between Ukrainian and Russian delegations in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
“The exchange of prisoners and an unconditional 30-day full interim ceasefire are the first quick steps that could significantly bring us closer to a just and lasting peace. Ukraine is ready to take these steps because the Ukrainian people want peace more than anyone,” Zelenskyy wrote on X.
