Greeting to Pope Leo XIV

May 8, 2025

Vladimir Putin sent a message of greetings to Pope Leo XIV on his election.

The message reads, in part:

“I am certain that the constructive dialogue and cooperation established between Russia and the Vatican previously will continue to develop, drawing on the Christian values that unite us.

Your Holiness, I wish you success in carrying out the important mission entrusted to you, as well as good health and well-being.”
