The Kremlin has confirmed that President Vladimir Putin has had a telephone conversation with Pope Leo XIV, which is also the first conversation between them.
According to foreign media, the Kremlin confirmed this conversation, after previously stating that Putin had also had a telephone conversation with US President Donald Trump.
While we do not have more details about their conversation, we recall that the new Pope has spoken publicly about the war in Ukraine, writes A2 CNN.
In one of his first greetings to Italian pilgrims, he said his thoughts often go to "the Ukrainian people, affected by new serious attacks against civilians and infrastructure." (A2 Televizion)
