- Archbishop Gallagher, the Vatican's top diplomat, began a visit to Russia framed as pursuing diplomacy and dialogue in pursuit of peace.
- The Vatican's foreign minister, speaking from Moscow, said the Ukraine war must end — a visit coinciding with European leaders traveling to Kyiv on a parallel diplomatic track.
Why it matters: The Vatican's direct Moscow mission running in parallel with European leaders' Kyiv gathering shows two simultaneous diplomatic tracks targeting the same conflict, placing the Holy See alongside EU-led efforts as an independent channel to Moscow.
