Pope Leo XIV reached out to Russian President Vladimir Putin from his hospital bed to press for a ceasefire in the Ukrainian city of Oleshky, according to reporting from Fox News and the New York Post. The discussion took place while the pontiff was recuperating following lung surgery.
Fox News reported that the Vatican requested the pause in hostilities to facilitate the delivery of food, medical aid, and the safe evacuation of civilians from the Russian-controlled city, where food shipments have been obstructed since May. The Kremlin responded by asserting that Ukraine bore responsibility for the conditions in the area, while indicating support for the Vatican's efforts to assist civilians and deliver essential supplies.
According to Fox News, the 71-year-old pope underwent surgery earlier in the week to remove a lobe of his right lung following a cancer diagnosis. Medical staff at Gemelli reported that he is improving, capable of carrying out daily routines independently, and still preparing for scheduled travel to South America in November.
