00:00Good afternoon, good afternoon.

00:02Good afternoon.

00:04Good afternoon.

00:06Good afternoon.

00:08You have already met President Zelensky.

00:10We have read the news,

00:12what happened?

00:14What impressed you?

00:16What did he say?

00:18What did he say to you?

00:20The main topic is

00:24the issue of war

00:26and the way to

00:28seek an agreement,

00:30a cessation of fire.

00:32We talked specifically about

00:36the issue of children

00:38and prisoners,

00:40how the Church can help

00:42to bring in Ukraine

00:44the children.

00:46We have offered

00:50many times

00:52that the Holy Spirit is available

00:54to offer space

00:56opportunities

00:58for

01:00negotiations

01:02that until now

01:04we have not accepted

01:06the offer.

01:08We are available to

01:10peace

01:12as I said.

01:14And will

01:16in Ukraine

01:18the invitation of the President?

01:20I hope so.

01:22We need to be realistic

01:24in these things.

01:26We are in direct

01:28on the news 24.

01:30President Trump

01:32for the peace in Ukraine.

01:34What do you think?

01:36I think that the role of Europe

01:38is very important.

01:40The unity of European countries

01:42is really significant,

01:44especially in this case.

01:46seeking peace

01:48without including Europe

01:50in the conversation

01:52is not realistic.

01:54The war is in Europe

01:56and I think that the guarantees

01:58that we are looking for today

02:00and in the future,

02:01Europe must form a part.

02:03Unfortunately,

02:04not all of them

02:05understand it

02:06but I think that

02:08there is an opportunity

02:10that is very big

02:11for the leaders of Europe

02:12to join us

02:13and to seek solutions together.

02:16Santo Padre,

02:17they say that

02:18the work at the Palazzo Apostolic

02:19are going to finish

02:20when they will be transferred

02:21there?

02:22And especially

02:23the Holy Church

02:24how will it be?

02:25Yes,

02:26I still have a chance.

02:27I am well

02:28where I am living in the Holy Church.

02:30In the Holy Church

02:31we say

02:32that

02:33the Holy Church

02:34of the Holy Church

02:35of the Holy Church

02:36will live with him.

02:37There will not be any other

02:38in the Holy Church

02:39of the Holy Church

02:40of the Holy Church

02:41of the Holy Church

02:42of the Holy Church

02:43of the Holy Church.

02:44Good evening, Holy Father.

02:45Would you tell us, please,

02:46what do you think

02:47about Trump's

02:48peace plan for Ukraine?

02:49Do you think it's fair?

02:50I'd rather not comment on that.

02:51I haven't read the whole thing.

02:53I think, unfortunately,

02:54some parts of it

02:55that I have seen

02:56make a huge change

03:01in what was for many, many years

03:04a true alliance

03:05between Europe

03:06and the United States

03:07and the United States.

03:09The remarks that are made

03:10about Europe

03:11also in interviews

03:12recently

03:13I think

03:14are trying to break apart

03:16what I think

03:17needs to be a very important

03:18alliance today

03:19and in the future.

03:20So,

03:21it's a program

03:22that President Trump

03:23and his advisers

03:24put together.

03:25He's the President

03:26of the United States

03:27and has a right

03:28to do that.

03:29It has a number of things

03:30in it that I think

03:31while

03:32perhaps many people

03:34in the United States

03:35would be in agreement,

03:36many others

03:37would see things

03:38in a different way.

03:39Sento Padre,

03:40tornando al viaggio

03:41in Turchia

03:42nella Moschea

03:43Sultan Ahmed

03:44a Istanbul

03:45lei non ha pregato

03:46almeno vissi

03:47ma che ha detto che non ho pregato

03:48cioè, hanno detto che non ho pregato

03:50ma io ho dato una risposta

03:51già sull'aereo

03:52ho mencionato un libro

03:54può darsi che stai pregando

03:56anche in questo momento, capito?

03:58quindi lo stile di preghiera

04:02nel momento e nel luogo

04:04io infatti preferisco pregare

04:06in una chiesa cattolica

04:08nella presenza del Santissimo Sacramento

04:11ma se ha fatto tanto di quel momento

04:15mi sembra un po'

04:16diciamo curioso

04:19grazie

04:21Can I ask a question

04:23I wanted to just ask about the work

04:25Valentina Di Donato

04:27about the work that the Vatican has done

04:30which is so instrumental

04:31in bringing back

04:32objective children

04:33there are still so many

04:35that need to be helped

04:36what is the Vatican currently doing

04:38and did you and Zelensky

04:39discuss about this?

04:40we spoke about it

04:42most of the work that's going on

04:44which is very slow unfortunately

04:45but it's done, if you will, behind the scenes

04:47so I'd prefer not to comment more than that

04:49we continue to work on that

04:50to try and get those children back to their homes

04:53to their families

04:54grazie

04:55thank you

05:13oh

05:14thanks

05:15much

05:16thank you

05:18thank you
