U.S. President Joe Biden will meet with Cardinal Matteo Zuppi, Pope Francis' peace envoy, to discuss the suffering caused by Russia's war in Ukraine, with a focus on the plight of Ukrainian children taken to Russia. The meeting will also address efforts to provide humanitarian aid and repatriate Ukrainian children forcibly deported by Russian officials.

The Vatican has been actively involved in peace initiatives between Russia and Ukraine, aiming to find "paths of peace" and facilitate family reunifications.
