However, it is unlikely to become a platform for trilateral negotiations.

Russian President Vladimir Putin had his first telephone conversation with Pope Leo XIV on June 4 last year, during which he discussed the settlement of the Ukrainian conflict.

It was clarified that the conversation was constructive. The parties expressed their intention to continue contacts.
