Actually, I did wonder why The Vatican was chosen to be the host city/ country for war negotiations.
I never associated Zelensky with any adherence to Christianity. Putin’s ties to that faith may be more a matter of national culture vs an expression of his own spirituality.
Perhaps some thought geographically, The Vatican was a suitable middle ground for all three countries to converge for a formal discussion. Now, that may not even happen, regardless of where it is to be located.
Russia’s position on this makes sense on a couple of grounds.
Theologically, it’s a Western Church vs Eastern Church war.
And the Pope is an American leading a body which in recent years has become a liberation theology church.
It could be that the Pope could prove to be an honest mediator, but he doesn’t really have a track record in that area yet, so far as I know.
Putin’s already missing Frank the Hippie Pope...
Does anyone other than Marxists?

The Vatican has no role to play in peace talks. This isn’t about religion. Clean up your own house before you stick you nose in someone else’s.
Really?
Would Netanyahu be invited to hold peace talks with Gaza in Riyadh?
Who’s the moron who would think the heads of two predominately Eastern Orthodox countries would agree that the Vatican was a fine place to sit down and talk peace?
Somebody’s got a loose screw...
