The Vatican’s Secretary of State recently met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Kyiv, on Tuesday, July 23, and conveyed the Pope’s pleas for peace.
During the morning meeting, Zelenskyy thanked Cardinal Pietro Parolin for visiting the capitol, saying it was a “good signal from the Vatican.”
The Cardinal reaffirmed the Holy Father’s solidarity and his commitment to peace.
During his six-day visit, Cardinal Parolin closed one of the most popular pilgrimages for Ukrainian Catholics and visited a children’s hospital that was attacked earlier in the month.
