Efforts to mediate peace in Ukraine continue as key diplomatic figures engage in discussions aimed at reducing hostilities and addressing humanitarian concerns.
The Vatican's Foreign Minister, Archbishop Paul Gallagher, held a phone conversation on Friday with his Russian counterpart, Sergey Lavrov, to discuss the ongoing war in Ukraine, according to a statement from the Vatican.

During the conversation, Gallagher also reiterated the Vatican’s readiness "to continue its humanitarian efforts, particularly concerning the exchange of prisoners," the statement concluded.
