Matteo Maria Zuppi, Archbishop of Bologna and President of the Italian Episcopal Conference, will pay a visit to Kyiv as Envoy of the Holy Father Francis. The main purpose of this initiative is to listen in depth to the Ukrainian authorities about possible ways to achieve a just peace and to support gestures of humanity that will help ease tensions.
