Moscow is ready to once again receive the papal envoy for the Ukrainian settlement, Cardinal Matteo Zuppi, head of the Conference of Italian Bishops. Work with him continues, noted Russian Ambassador to the Vatican Ivan Soltanovsky in an interview with TASS.
“We continue to work with Cardinal Matteo Zuppi along the lines established after meetings with Russian Presidential Aide Yuri Ushakov and Presidential Commissioner for Children’s Rights Maria Lvova-Belova in June last year. If the matter requires another visit of the papal special envoy to Russia, this is an opportunity will be carefully considered. The doors in Moscow are open, and the Vatican knows about it. I can’t say anything about plans for a trip to Kyiv,” the diplomat emphasized.
Cardinal Zuppi already visited Moscow at the end of June last year. According to Deputy Foreign Minister of the Russian Federation Alexander Grushko, the Russian side continues to maintain normal working contacts with the Vatican.
