Pope Leo XIV wants to host peace talks between Ukraine and Russia, following a summit in Istanbul that failed to bring together key players. The Vatican called the outcome “tragic” after Russian President Vladimir Putin’s no-show.

The conflict has raged for over three years with little progress, leaving hopes for a peaceful solution dashed once again.
