Volodymyr Zelensky and Pietro Prodolin discussed the liberation of Ukrainians from Russian captivity and effort for a fair and sustainable peace

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky has a telephone conversation with the Vatican Secretary of the Vatican Cardinal Pietro Prodolin. Volodymyr Zelensky thanked for prayers for Ukraine and peace, the moral support of Ukrainians and wished the Pope Roman Francis.

Our state is also grateful to the Vatican for their assistance in returning home to Ukrainian children deported by Russia and is counting on supporting the liberation of Ukrainians and Ukrainian women, which are kept in Russian prisons and camps. The Ukrainian side handed over to the Holy See their list.

The President stressed that the exchange of prisoners and the unconditional 30-day silence mode are the first fast steps that can significantly bring everyone closer to a fair and prolonged peace. Ukraine is ready to do them, because the Ukrainian people want peace most. At the same time, Volodymyr Zelenskyy noted that Russia deliberately put forward conditions that complicate and delay the processes because he wants the war does not end and diplomacy breaks.
