Putin holds phone call with Pope

Kiev is seeking escalation and targeting civilian infrastructure, the Russian president told the pontiff, according to the Kremlin

Ukraine is deliberately escalating the ongoing conflict by targeting civilian infrastructure within Russian territory, President Vladimir Putin has told Pope Leo XIV.

According to the Kremlin, the Russian leader and the Pontiff held “a constructive” phone conversation on Wednesday, during which they discussed a number of topics, including the Ukraine conflict.

Putin pointed out that against a backdrop of resumed direct talks between Moscow and Kiev, the Ukrainian leadership is “doubling down on escalation [and] conducting acts of sabotage against civilian infrastructure on Russian territory.” He described the recent acts of railway sabotage in Russia’s Bryansk and Kursk Regions as terrorism, the Kremlin stated.
