Italian media claims that Moscow and Kyiv agreed to the proposal of the Pope to receive special envoys to discuss a truce.

Moscow and Kyiv agreed to the proposal of the Pope to receive his special envoys to discuss a truce. This is reported by the specialized portal of the Vatican information Il Sismografo without naming the sources of its information.

The report notes that Archbishop Claudio Gugerotti, prefect of the Dicastery for the Eastern Churches, might go to Moscow as a papal special envoy, while Cardinal Matteo Maria Zuppi, head of the Conference of Italian Bishops, could go to Kyiv.

According to the publication, the parties accepted the proposal for the relevant meetings, but "the preparation is extremely difficult, and progress has been extremely frugal so far."

The Il Sismografo material also says that this may be the "peace mission" of the Vatican, which the Pope announced at the end of April on his way from Budapest.

I believe Trump could facilitate a settlement.

I think it is still possible to reach an agreement that would
allow Ukraine to keep Odessa if they agree to acknowledge the loss of Donbas and Crimea and to abandon any hope of NATO membership.

If an agreement is not reached soon then Ukraine will end up
having to truck goods to the port at Constanta for export... not a good setup.

The global elites and their puppets like Zelensky do not want peace. They are wholly in favor of supporting any war that kills off large numbers of white Christians.

So the atheist and the Jew are brought to the peace table by a Catholic?

Why am I not buying it?

Sounds like the prelude to a joke.
