The Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni told Tuesday that the Pope Lion XIV confirmed her readiness to be home to negotiations in his telephone conversation. The Vatican media office refused to commentally commented.
Pope Lav, the first church of the Catholic Church, in the United States, is shortly elected, said Vatican could be a mediator in the world conflicts, but did not expressly mentioned Russia and Ukraine.
Lavrov, speaking to the event at the Diplomatic Academy in Moscow on Friday, rejected the idea that the Vatican be the next location of the negotiations, and Kremlin said it was not yet agreed where the new round of conversation will take place. “Many people fantasize about it when and where (meeting) happens. We have no idea any idea of that,” Lavrov said.
“But imagine the Vatican as a place of negotiation. It would be a bit inappropriate for Orthodox countries to use the Catholic Platform for the debate on the removal of the basic causes of the conflict.”
“I don’t think that even the Vatican itself would be pleasant to be home to delegations from two Orthodox countries in these circumstances,” he added. The Ukrainian and Russian negotiators and earlier this month in Istanbul, maintained their first direct negotiations in more than three years.
