Vatican Foreign Minister visits Moscow for first time since 2021
Vatican Secretary for Relations with States, Paul Richard Gallagher's visit to Russia is the first since the start of the Ukrainian war in 2021. The visit aims to maintain communication channels amid current international tensions. It includes discussions with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and representatives from the Orthodox and Catholic Churches, with the goal of promoting peace efforts and humanitarian initiatives such as prisoner exchanges and the repatriation of Ukrainian children. Despite the complexities in relations due to the Russian Church's support for Kremlin policies, the Vatican continues to seek a diplomatic path to end the war, which has seen increasing strikes and civilian casualties for more than four years.
