The Vatican has not confirmed Pope Francis and Zelenskyy will meet and Ukraine, according to protocol, does not share the president’s travels for security reasons.
Both the Vatican and Ukraine’s government have not issued any official statements about the reported trip and meetings.
The Ukrainian president is scheduled to appear live on one of Italy’s state television channels, Rai1, during a special edition of the program “Porta a Porta” on Saturday evening, the broadcaster announced Friday.
Pope Francis has been frank about his openness to helping broker peace between Russia and Ukraine.
On his return flight from Budapest April 30, he also said the Holy See was involved in a secret mission to bring peace to the warring countries.
Pope Francis and Zelenskyy spoke several times over the phone last year.
