Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said Tuesday that Pope Leo XIV confirmed his readiness to host the next round of Russia-Ukraine peace talks at the Vatican, expressing her gratitude for his support.
This follows U.S. President Donald Trump’s earlier statement that the Vatican could serve as a neutral venue for the negotiations.
European and U.S. leaders welcomed Trump’s remarks on Monday, seeing the Vatican as a possible trusted ground for talks. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio also mentioned the Vatican as a potential neutral location acceptable to both Russia and Ukraine.
Pope Leo, who became pope in May 2025, has consistently called for peace and dialogue, including recent meetings with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The Vatican’s potential role is seen as a hopeful sign toward reviving stalled negotiations, though concrete plans remain pending official confirmation.
