Vatican Secretary for Relations with States Archbishop Paul Richard Gallagher has said that reconciliation must develop into “just and lasting rules”. The comments, addressed to the opening of a seminar at the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart in Assisi, come amid US meetings with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy aimed at facilitating peace talks.
The archbishop this month visited Moscow, the first visit he has made since the onset of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, where he declared that the war “must end”.
