CWN Editor's Note: Cardinal Matteo Maria Zuppi of Bologna, Italy, visited Ukrainian prisoners of war during his three-day visit to Moscow.
It was his third such visit to Russia since Pope Francis named him a papal peace envoy to Russia and Ukraine in 2023. Archbishop Paul Richard Gallagher, the Holy See’s Secretary for Relations with States and International Organizations, also recently visited Russia—and both prelates visited Ukraine this summer.
