Today I also had a very good conversation with the Pope - I started the day with this. Pope Leo XIV said warm and very important words about Ukraine, about our people, about a just and lasting peace for our country and the return of our people - of course, the return of prisoners and children who were stolen by Russia. I thanked him for his support. We discussed possible meetings. I invited the Pope to come to Ukraine
