JAKARTA - Pope Leo XIV discussed the war in Ukraine with the Volokolamsk Metropolitan and the head of the Department of Foreign Relations of the Russian Orthodox Church, Anthony Sevryuk.
The discussion between the two took place when the senior cleric at the Russian Orthodox Church along with five other leading clerics visited the Vatican to meet Pope Leo, Saturday, July 26 local time.
"During the conversation, many issues arose related to the condition of the Orthodox-Catholic dialogue, as well as the ongoing conflict in the world, including in Ukraine and the Middle East," the Russian Orthodox Church said in a statement.
Since serving as Pope in May 2025, Pope Leo has repeatedly called for peace in global conflicts, including in Gaza, Palestine, and Ukraine.
In July 2025, Pope Leo, who received a visit from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the Vatican, also expressed his willingness to host the Russia-Ukraine peace negotiations.
On the one hand, Russian officials responded skeptically because they saw the Vatican as inappropriate to be the place of negotiations because it was surrounded by Italy, which is a NATO member supporting Ukraine.
