The Italian newspaper La Repubblica writes that the new Pope Leo XIV, elected just five days ago, is already considering his first international visit. Earlier, Zelensky invited the pontiff to Kyiv, emphasizing the importance of the visit. The Pope is expected to evaluate the possibility of a trip to Moscow.
It is reported that the first trip may be to the Turkish city of Nicaea on the anniversary of the 325th Ecumenical Council. The pontiff also plans a trip to Peru, where he spent 20 years as a missionary. He has so far ruled out a visit to his native United States.
