US President Joe Biden received a Vatican envoy yesterday, Tuesday, for talks on the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the forcible removal of children from Ukraine to Russia, the White House announced.
The US president and Pope Francis’ envoy for peace in Ukraine, Cardinal Matteo Juppi, held talks about the Vatican’s efforts to provide “humanitarian assistance in response to the widespread suffering caused by the continued aggression in Ukraine, as well as on the Vatican’s commitment to the return of forcibly displaced children from Ukraine” to Russia, the statement said.
The cardinal was welcomed to the White House “at the request of Pope Francis,” the White House added.
As part of his mission, Cardinal Jupi went to Kiev in early June, where he met with the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky.
He then traveled later that month to Moscow, where he met with Maria Lvova-Belova, the Russian commissioner for the rights of the child, who has an arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court for “illegal deportation” of Ukrainian minors to Russia, as with Patriarch Kirill, the head of the Russian Orthodox Church.
