Vatican engages Russia over the war in Ukraine

The Vatican’s Foreign Minister Archbishop Paul Gallagher held a phone call on Friday with Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov to discuss the war in Ukraine and plans to stop the fighting. Russia and Ukraine agreed to a limited truce last month against launching attacks against the other side’s energy facilities. Both have accused each other of violating the agreement, which was brokered by the United States. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy met Pope Francis at the Vatican last October and asked for the pontiff’s help in securing the release of Ukrainians held captive by Russia. Do you think that this war will continue and it will only be decidded on the battle field ?
