President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy had a meeting with the Secretary of State of the Holy See, Cardinal Pietro Parolin, and the Secretary for Relations with States and International Organizations, Archbishop Paul Gallagher in the Vatican.
The President and the Secretary of State of the Holy See discussed the implementation of the Peace Formula, particularly the point concerning the return of deported children and the release of civilian hostages and prisoners of war. Special attention was paid to the preparation of a conference based on this point, which will take place on October 30–31 in Canada.
Among other topics, the parties also talked about the results of Cardinal Pietro Parolin’s recent visit to Ukraine. Volodymyr Zelenskyy expressed hope that this will help unite international efforts in the process of restoring Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.
