Vice President JD Vance met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for the first time since their squabble in the Oval Office earlier this year.

The Vatican, which was largely sidelined during the first three years of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, has offered to host any peace talks.

Pope Leo XIV met with Vice President JD Vance at the Vatican a day after the first American pontiff celebrated his inaugural mass to a packed crowd of some 200,000 people. The vice president also met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for the first time since their fiery showdown in the Oval Office back in February.
