Vatican willing to become platform for dialogue on Ukraine

Cardinal Secretary of State of Vatican City Pietro Parolin believes that the state could be a suitable place to organize a meeting of parties for dialogue on Ukraine. TASS writes.

"We are ready, the Vatican could be a suitable venue for this. We were looking for an opportunity to offer a meeting of the parties and at the same time maintain a balance. Our desire is to offer a place for dialogue without preconditions," he said Monday, answering a question from TASS. Parolin stressed, however, that it would be up to the parties to determine the model of dialogue.

The Vatican has repeatedly stressed the Holy See's readiness to do everything possible to establish a dialogue between Russia and Ukraine. Pope Francis previously indicated that the Vatican was working to bring positions closer and find solutions on Ukraine
