Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has met with US Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio on the eve of Pope Leo's inauguration, a source in the Ukrainian delegation told Reuters.
According to foreign media, this is the first meeting between Zelenskyy and Vance since they clashed during talks at the White House in February over the future of the war in Ukraine.
Donald Trump will speak in separate phone calls with Vladimir Putin and Zelensky tomorrow about talks to end the war.
The Pope will have a private meeting with Zelensky this afternoon, writes A2 CNN.
Leo, the first pope from the United States, has previously pledged to personally make "every effort" to help end the war.
He has also suggested that the Vatican could be a venue for peace talks between Russia and Ukraine. (A2 Televizion)
