Cardinal Matteo Zuppi, the Vatican's special envoy, will travel to Russia for a series of meetings in Moscow from September 28 to 30 to discuss ways of resolving humanitarian issues related to the war in Ukraine, Russian state news agency TASS reported.
The visit is expected to focus specifically on humanitarian aspects of a potential settlement of the conflict, according to the report.
Zuppi has previously served as the Vatican's envoy on the Ukraine conflict, engaging with officials in Kyiv, Moscow and Washington on humanitarian matters, including issues related to prisoner exchanges and the return of children affected by the war.
TASS's report did not specify which Russian officials Zuppi is expected to meet during his three days of talks in the Russian capital.
The Vatican has positioned itself as a potential intermediary on humanitarian issues throughout the war, though it has not taken on a broader political mediating role between Moscow and Kyiv.
