Pope Leo XIV has returned to Castel Gandolfo, the papal residence where he spent over two weeks for his summer holiday.
After arriving for what appears a short mini-break, he briefly spoke to reporters about different conflicts taking place in the world, reports the Rome-based Catholic news agency Crux.
He addressed the war in Ukraine, emphasising that the countries involved “must always seek a ceasefire”, with his comments coming ahead of US President Donald Trump due to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska this Friday to discuss potentially ending the war.
