This would be the secret mission that Pope Francis referred to on his return from his trip to Hungary and about which the Vatican still maintains maximum silence.

The newspaper “Il Resto del Pug”based in Bologna, published today that the archbishop of the city and the president of the Italian Episcopal Conference, Matteo Zuppi, will be in charge of going to kyiv to convince the Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelenskyto accept, at least, a ceasefire.

At the same time, Archbishop Claudio Gugerottia great connoisseur of these two countries, will be in charge of communicating to the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, that a truce is now essential.

However, the Department for the Oriental Churches assured this afternoon that Gugerotti completely unaware of that information.

“The news of a peace mission entrusted to the Prefect has reached the international press (…) Claudio Gugerotti. It is reported that the prefect is not aware of anything that is said about him “is indicated in a brief statement.

Zuppi, points out the newspaper of bolognahas already fulfilled this role of mediator in at least two situations: the first dates back to 1990, when it held a dialogue with the community of Saint Egidioto which he is very close, with the parties that faced each other in the complex civil war of Mozambiqueand also mediated with exponents of the terrorist group ETA to deliver the maps of their arsenals in France.

The diary reveals that, after his visit to Hungarythe pope held a long meeting with zuppiin which he asked the Archbishop of bologna to play an active role in this mission.

The answer of Zelensky after his visit to the Pope last Saturday that “they did not need mediators” had made me think that the Vatican surrendered in his mediation attempt, however, everything indicates that these talks will be attempted.

The Catholic Information Page “The seismograph blog” announced this Thursday that the two countries have shown themselves willing to sit down and talk with the pope’s emissaries.

“At the same time, they raised some important questions: first, they asked to clarify if they would be two envoys, one for each country, or just one; The parties also requested the identity of the envoys, which would allow them to build a biographical profile of the papal representatives.assured this medium.

“There are preliminary agreements on the names of the cardinal Matteo Zuppi to kyivand the archbishop Claudio Gugerottito Moscow, but these names have not been confirmed to be final. Both still need to be approved.” added.

The main doubt about the mission of the pope is that kyiv does not accept any truce because it considers it a “freezing” (of the military situation), which favors territorial conquests by RussiaAdd “The Seismograph”.

The talks may also address the issue of Ukrainian children deported to Russia and? Zelensky He assured that they could be up to 200,000 and that it was the only help that the Ukrainian president asked the Pope for.
